If you’re using Suji, you already understand that training hard isn’t the full story. Recovery and resilience matter just as much. Suji is a clinical-grade blood flow restriction (BFR) technology designed to help you build muscle, reduce pain, and recover faster—whether you’re in rehab, returning from injury, or simply trying to protect your joints and longevity.
But how you use Suji makes all the difference. Here’s how to get the most out of every session—and why Suji is different from anything else on the market.
1. Calibrate Once, Use Confidently
Before your first session, Suji calibrates your personalized restrictive pressure based on your own physiology—not population averages. This ensures each session is both safe and effective.
Once calibrated, your profile is saved in the app so every future session is effortless and tailored.
Pro Tip: Recalibrate only when necessary—like after surgery, significant weight changes, or long training breaks.
2. Match Compression to Your Intent
Suji’s strength lies in its adaptability. Whether you're recovering from surgery, rebuilding strength, or training with joint sensitivity, choosing the right compression range matters.
-
40–50% for recovery, gentle movement, or early rehab
-
50–60% for controlled strength work using bodyweight or bands
-
60–80% for experienced users during loaded exercises or advanced training
Pro Tip: More pressure isn’t always better. Use the lightest effective dose for your goal and build consistency first.
3. Short-Term Relief, Long-Term Strength: Why Suji Is Different
Most recovery tools—massage guns, ice packs, compression boots—only offer short-term relief. Suji is designed to go further.
Short-Term Benefits:
-
Increases blood flow to sore or stiff areas
-
Reduces pain and inflammation
-
Immediately activates muscles, even passively
Long-Term Benefits:
-
Preserves and rebuilds strength during injury or downtime
-
Supports tendon and joint health under low load
-
Boosts recovery between sessions
-
Enables safe, low-impact strength work through all phases of rehab and training
Unlike static bands or budget BFR options, Suji uses medical-grade compression paired with expert protocols to deliver results that last.
4. Use Suji Across Your Week: From Rehab to Peak Training
Suji is more than a recovery tool—it’s a flexible system that adapts to your lifestyle.
Compression Walks
Ideal for active recovery or early rehab.
Example: Two weeks post-op and cleared for movement? A 15-minute compression walk activates muscles and improves circulation with minimal joint stress.
Passive Recovery Mode
Best after intense workouts or when your body feels sore and inflamed.
Example: After a tough leg day or long run, passive recovery helps you feel looser the next morning.
Bodyweight & Rehab Exercises
Reintroduce resistance without overload—perfect for injury recovery or flare-ups.
Example: Rebuilding shoulder strength post-surgery? Use banded rows or arm raises with Suji for effective low-load work.
Joint-Friendly Strength Training
Designed for anyone who wants muscle stimulus without joint strain.
Example: Managing knee pain but want strong quads? Suji allows training with less load and more benefit.
5. Follow the Expert-Led Protocols in the App
The app is more than a remote—it’s a guide. Suji’s mobile app includes world-class rehab, performance, and recovery programs designed by physical therapists and BFR researchers.
Explore structured sessions for:
-
Pre- and post-op recovery
-
Athletic return-to-play
-
Joint-friendly strength maintenance
-
Pain and mobility support for active adults
6. Layer Suji Into Your Weekly Routine
Suji is built to support your goals without disrupting your flow.
-
In recovery or rehab? Use daily for passive or gentle sessions.
-
Training regularly? Use 2–3 times per week post-workout or for accessory work.
-
Managing chronic pain? Use before activity to activate muscles, and after to reduce soreness and inflammation.
7. Know When Not to Use It
While powerful, Suji isn’t right for every situation. Avoid using it over:
-
Open wounds or unhealed surgical sites
-
Areas with active infections or DVT risk
-
Fractures or recent surgeries without clearance
-
Limbs during pregnancy (consult your physician)
Always consult a healthcare provider before beginning or changing your protocol—especially after surgery or injury.
Final Thoughts
Suji isn’t just a recovery tool. It’s a performance system that helps you stay strong, train smart, and move pain-free—even when life gets in the way.
