How do I use Floss Bands?
When using Floss Bands, begin by wrapping the area that you want to target, this can be the lower or upper arms, shoulders, upper and lower legs and feet. You should avoid using the floss bands on your head, neck, back and abdomen.
Wrap from the top downwards, then secure the floss band by tucking the end under the wrapped part. A good rule of thumb is to wrap the area with 50% compression and the band should be approximately 50% larger in size. Although you want to reduce blood flow, restricting it completely can be extremely dangerous, therefore if you feel any numbness or tingling remove the floss band immediately.
Once the band is secure, move the joint that the floss band is around/close to. For example, if the band is wrapped around your thigh, bodyweight squats are a suitable movement. Perform the movement for 30 seconds to 2 minutes then stop and remove the band. You will feel the sensation of the blood rushing to the area that was restricted. Anything up to 2 minutes in a certain area will be sufficient to get results and you can perform flossing on a number of areas in concession.
