BEFORE YOU START USING YOUR STRAPS

By purchasing and using the straps, you agree to the Terms and Conditions of Use.

If you disagree, return your straps unopened for a full refund.

CONSULT YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL

As with any other exercise program, you should consult your healthcare professional before you begin using blood flow restriction.

​

Before each exercise session, you should:

  • Drink at least 16oz of water

  • Avoid the use of Caffeine

  • Loosen the cuffs if you feel numbness or tingling

  • Discontinue use if you feel dizzy

​

DO NOT USE if you have the following:

  • Untreated high blood pressure >140 mmHg systolic

  • Untreated low blood pressure < 90 mmHg systolic

  • Current or History of deep vein thrombosis DVT

  • Recent Traumatic Injury

  • Clotting Disorders

  • Pulmonary Embolism

  • Rhabdomyolysis

  • Blood Thinners

  • Active Cancer(s)

  • Less than 6-months postpartum or pregnant

COMMON SIDE EFFECTS

You should be aware that the use of BFR may, in some cases, have non-life-threatening side-effects.

​

The following are side-effects experienced by users of straps or cuffs. They include: 

  • Slight Bruising - Rare when using RockCuff

  • Numbness and Tingling - Rare when using RockCuff

  • Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)

STRAP PREPARATION

You will need to prepare the straps prior to your first use because a portion of the thin velcro strap is retracted inside the sleeve for shipping.

​

Pull the dial upward to unlock the gears. Pull the velcro strap all the way out of the sleeve until it stops. Lock the dial by pressing the top down. Rotate the dial clockwise until the silver dot is pointing to the "0/26" position.

​

The straps are now ready to calibrate for the individual user.

​

Note: To loosen the strap, simply lift the tab. DO NOT ROTATE the dial counterclockwise.d. Follow instructions for generating proper pressure. DO NOT overtighten the straps.

STRAP CALIBRATION

Our strap pressure is personalized using two simple measurements. 

​

First, measure the circumference of the limb on which the strap is to be placed. For the upper body, measure the arm above, not over the bicep, high up in the armpit. For the lower body, measure the leg high up in the crotch.

​

Consult the chart that shows the number of "click" needed based on the limb circumference. Our testing has shown that the pressure generated will be 50% of fully loaded arterial pressure (upper) with an accuracy of +/- 6% and a lower pressure of approximately 70%.

​

Fine tuning calibration can be done by performing the 3-minute assessment. The assessment will test occlusion, resistance, and duration and is more accurate than using limb occlusion pressure (LOP) and guessing a personal number.

​

DO NOT overtighten! Studies show that there are no additional benefits to overtightening.

PROPER CUFF PLACEMENT

Only place the straps on the arms and legs as indicated in the accompanying image. 

​

Arm straps should be placed above, not over the bicep. The gels should be between the arm and the body. Leg straps should be placed high on the leg close to the crotch. The gels should be positioned on the inside of the leg.

​

  • Do not overtighten

  • Check for capillary refill

  • No numbness or tingling

  • Clean straps often - Rinse in warm water

  • Do not use longer than 25 minutes.

TIGHTENING THE ARM STRAP

The dial is marked to help you set and record settings. You should only rotate the dial "clockwise". If you want to loosen the strap, just lift the tab, flex, and flex to let the strap self-loosen.


Measure your upper arm above the bicep. Follow the vertical line on the chart to determine the number of clicks to achieve ideal pressure to activate MetaBoost™.

​

Prior to your first use, perform the 3-minute assessment to fine-tune the tightness of your strap (usually just 1 or 2 clicks).

​

If you feel numbness or tingling, lift the tab and let the strap "relax" then close the tab and rotate the dial clockwise 2 clicks.

TIGHTEN THE LEG STRAP

The dial is marked to help you set and record settings. You should only rotate the dial "clockwise". If you want to loosen the strap, just lift the tab, flex, and flex to let the strap self-loosen.


Refer to the chart at the right to determine how much to tighten your strap. One full rotation equals 26 clicks. For example, if the chart indicates "60" clicks, rotate the dial two full turns (56), then add four more clicks.

​

The settings are determined by limb circumference. And deliver approximately 100 mmHg (1.8psi) of pressure. You may increase or decrease the tightness based on your need.

​

If you feel numbness or tingling, lift the tab and let the strap "relax" then close the tab and rotate the dial clockwise 2 clicks.
