- Are compression boots worth it?
•
According to the literature compression boots seem to fall short when it comes to any measurable signs of muscle recovery. However compression boots can increase blood flow to muscles which may be beneficial in certain situations or individuals.
•
The biggest benefits of compression boots seems to be in terms of an athlete’s perceived feelings of recovery which should not be completely ignored.
•
Sports are a mental game.
•
If you feel better using compression boots, use them. But you shouldn’t run to the store to buy a pair unless you have an extra grand lying around.
•
Proper sleep, nutrition and hydration will have a significantly greater impact on overall recovery.
•
TLDR: no they are not

I have drop foot and the compression is helping with regaining strength and reducing numbness in my left leg
Using Normatec 3 for a month, I feel lighter on my feet when boxing, quicker moves.. Remember, where there is circulation, there is life... I got Normatec arms as well as hyperice venom heat and massage. I also have a percussion massage gun. I went to this route over getting one of those massive massage chairs.. Plus these things are portable and can be brought on a plane
“Where there is circulation, there is life” damn, that’s really made me wanna just so it and buy them haha.
Can I ask, I know they are deemed as recovery boots, but do you ever use them before ur exercise/boxing to get that lighter feeling. Thanks.
Does it worth all the hype?
@@MegaDreamOo honestly those are opinions and the only opinion that’s truly matters is yours so you’re gonna have to figure it out yourself and try it .
Biggest benefit for me is they make me super relaxed and used before bed time they give me great sleep
Which is so valuable in itself 🎉
Try getting a morning 5 mile ride on a Keiser plus a 45 minute workout work outside ,on your feet, for 9 to 12 hours. Go home get a quick 15 minutes in the boots, sometimes hips and arms bought the kit, and a 45 to hour evening workout. At 50 it keeps me without aches that a diet won't change. But the things mentioned are highly needed. Perfect sleep? I have yet to get a full even two weeks since the 90s 😂😂😂😂😂
43 year old skateboarder. Loving the Hyperice Normatec 3s. Expensive shit, but I’m not getting any younger and they feel great! Prolonging my ability to learn new tricks and keep jumping down stairs 💥
Overall, does it worth it?
I have a pair of Normatec pulse 2.0 and I agree. You shouldn’t be using these as a crutch for recovery instead of a better diet. After a heavy lift these do almost nothing for me recovery wise. However, when I’ve been hooping all day and my legs are heavy and fatigued and my knees and ankles are puffy, these work wonders in flushing all that buildup.
One data point (namely yours) has no relevance to the overall validity of something. I also looked into something of the studies he listed. A lot of them fail in statistical rigor or research design. Convenience samples and n=10 studies don't cut it.

But why are medical-grade/nearly medical-grade compression massagers being predominantly evaluated on their usefulness for decreasing soreness after working and other similar fitness topics? Pneumatic/Sequential Air Compression massagers are crucial for lymphedema drainage, and that’s because elevating your swollen limbs, exercising, and other similar remedies are still not enough to get rid of the lymphedema.
Manual massages that encourage lymphatic drainage and blood circulation are extremely different than a massage that would be given for sore muscles. Massages to get knots out of your back or loosen tight/sore muscles are notoriously heavy handed and often painful. Encouraging the circulation and lymphatic flow actually requires specific training because the massage has to be gentle as to not damage and further impair the lymphatic system or venus insufficiency that caused the edema/lymphedema in the first place.
I’m all for massage and promoting recovery post workout, but pneumatic/sequential air compression massage devices are not designed for that, so I can certainly see where $1000+ is absolutely not worth it for who are expecting a shortened recovery time and sooth sore muscles by increasing circulation through compression massager. The price of these sequential air compression massagers are $1000 because of the specific pressures and technique, but the more coverage options, like foot to thigh, abdominal sleeves, arms, chest, and even neck and face/head. A lot of these products are approved as medical equipment by health insurance for those with lymphedema (and related conditions) because not only is it very difficult to treat on your own and if the swelling/lymphedema isn’t drained/resolved, it can lead to extreme swelling, little range of motion or flexibility, painful/sensitive hardened skin, lymphatic drainage leaking from skin, slow or no healing of cuts or scrapes, which can easily result in cellulitis, which is really serious and dangerous.
I hope this information helps :)
@@sharp.x well I don’t have lymphedema so that’s not the selling point for me. I lift weights every other day (at least) and play basketball almost twice daily at intense pace. Not to mention I’m a high flying dunker at 185lbs so my knees and feet take one hell of a beating. When I use Normatec after a workout it takes away the swelling from my knees and feet. Being blessed with full range of motion again I then hit a nice stretch and drink a protein shake. After all this process is done I feel great, almost like I could workout again.
I’m not claiming it’s the end all be all with one session of Normatec. Without my stretching, protein shake, and body which has built a tolerance to a lot of exercise I’m sure Normatec wouldn’t be my savior. But did I regret my purchase? No I use it about 4 times a week when needed and it does wonders for my inflammation. So I won’t use it as my sole source of recovery but I’ll certainly use it to my advantage.
@@sharp.xeven without that specific condition these are HSA/FSA eligible items to purchase and there are more affordable ones on the market now
They're great. A similar device is used in all ICUs to prevent people's blood thickening which can result in them having a heart attack. I think that tells us all we need to know.
Super helpful and straight to the point. Thank you :D
can you talk about post workout hydration?
Worth the money :)) my legs are recovering faster stronger - off course with best diet and weight training ✌🏼
Actually really find value in these, especially after a long day of work or after hooping. I think theres are worth considering if people have proper expectations
These are available at Costco for about $250
So they don’t help break lactate?
The people in those studies aren't me
Thanks for being honest
Normatec three boots and arms are awesome. These have made it so I can back myself up day after day.
I’ve just torn my rotator cuff and using the arm is amazing at keeping the blood flowing around it and moving all the toxins on
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
Thank you
People posting titles of studies or even studies in general don't mean much. A substantial number of studies in general out there are statistically weak or has a compromised research design.
I use these after a workout and I noticeably am not sore the next day. My proof? I did full lower body for 2 hours and the only thing that was sore were my glutes, the one thing the recovery suit couldn’t get to
Will compression boots benefit you while you sit watching TV or reading a book? It’s probably better than doing nothing.
