I first started reviewing compression recovery boots a little over a year ago. Since I started exploring these recovery boots, the market has grown exponentially and now includes several great brands. These compression recovery systems are designed to increase blood flow and decrease lactic acid via pneumatic compression, getting you back to training and competing as fast as possible.
My goal in this video was to create an objective comparison between these popular devices. This list is by no means all-encompassing and by no means the perfect ranking. In fact, there's some of these devices that I would actually put higher and/or move around if I were making a subjective list based on my personal preferences (one example of this would be ranking the Rapid Reboot REGEN higher). That being said, I do think this list helps distinguish some of the most valuable devices in terms of what you get overall and should serve as an initial guide for anyone looking to start their search for a compression massage device such as these.
Included in this review are compression recovery boot systems from Rapid Reboot, Therabody Recovery Air, NormaTec, Air Relax, Speed Hound, and Compex. These are the brands I've identified as the most popular. The categories I compare these devices on is based on my individual research and determined by what I was most curious about myself. There may be categories you care about more and are interested in evaluating these upon your own desires. If so, I have linked my spreadsheet of data at the top of this description box.

Thank you for all your work in ranking these boots as objectively and concisely as you can. You saved the viewers a ton of time.

[@reneeknight4462]

What a great and involved video, thank you so much 🙏, you put a LOT of work into making this

[@BestMassageTech]

Thank you for the kind words and acknowledging the effort it took!

[@RapidReboot]

Very thorough comparisons! We're glad to hear you're loving our GENESIS unit 💪🔥

any update when genesis and regen going to be back in stock?

Hi i own several pairs of the Air Relax compression boots...they work amazingly well and they do have the capability to deactivate zones!

[@CheekSteve]

Thank you very much, It was exactly what I was looking for !!!

[@kimberlytatro7216]

Thank you for this video. Have you tested any of the newer releases? Curious on an updated recommendation as I am new to the market

[@BlueDragon9000]

Awesome video man 😎

[@DrCanadasubscripts]

will you be reviewing the new normatec 3? would love to know the differences between 2 and 3

[@diane97531]

I bought the Therabody RecoveryAir JetBoots. They worked for 2 days and then the power would come on, but they would not start. They were paired and the app on my phone recognized them. I tried to contact Therabody and they only do chat and have no one that can help you with the product. I am so frustrated. I will never buy a Therabody product again. I also did not have the split charger. Could only charge 1 boot at a time.

[@rollinontwentytwos]

Great review, would you recommend the shorts that come with some brands? is there any added benefit? or should i got for a whole leg unit?

[@brianongteco3536]

We love our AIR RELAX , After sales was great. Customer service is superb!!

[@Drillorz]

Should I get the therabody jet boots or the normatec pulse 2.0? I need something that I can easily travel with too

[@Samantha-ys2pp]

excellent video!

[@vichitrajoshi]

Please can you make a video about which one is the best for people suffering from RLS? Thank you.

[@ZahraaAli-wd3jo]

do these compresone boots help shin splint and leg cramping in the middle of night

[@MoonerBros]

RecoveryAir Pro (Gen2) vs. Normatec 2.0 Pro. Which do you prefer, if budget is not an issue?

[@corybenson7083]

How does the Leg Compression System by Vive Health compare to these compression systems?

[@DarthGengarus]

Can you do cheap ones like Quinear and fitking to these top ones from like hyperice and therabody

[@LeiJiang-vx5ce]

there's a voice that the pressur must be higher than 120mmHg, is that correct?

[@rudyel-khoury7046]

Opinion on rapid reboot regen vs normatec 3(3.0)? Which has more pressure? Bang for buck? Better one?

[@jenniferlopez1670]

Thank you for the comparison. Do any of compression boots come with an all over heat option?

[@BestMassageTech]

No, unfortunately not

Very Helpful. But Now I Have Even More Questions. Talk About Coming In Unaware And Leaving Overwhelmed!

[@randallcurtis3344]

Good comparisons, could you do a review of the Quantum Air Compression Therapy System?

[@BestMassageTech]

I've never heard of that brand - are they an amazon brand?

[@bryant0smith]

Great stuff. Definitely helped with my decision making. Would love to see a similar comparison with compression boots that just cover the lower 1/2 the leg. For example, spryng's, google sprynme, and ifitking's cordless rechargeable foot leg massager, ft-059a, are two that I looked at. It may need to be preceded with a video beforehand on whether they are effective before wasting time reviewing for comparison. Why buy one of these when I just bought some compress boots?

[@bryant0smith]

- Looking for something portable to put on immediately after a tennis match or workout. - Small enough that I can bring with me to the tennis court or for traveling by airplane. - Something I can use in the confines of a small car. - Something that is comfortable enough to fall asleep while wearing. - Boots like Spring's are appealing because I can still walk around or drive. - Boots like Fit King's are appealing because it does the foot as well.

[@avealar3983]

What compression boots are the quietest in your opinion? I have rapid reboot, but it's gotten louder and louder with time.

[@valentinkrotkov179]

Thanks so much. U are best

Hi and thank you for this great video. I'm a step aerobic instructor in the market to purchase a recovery boot set. Can you please recommend the set(s) I should consider?

[@nickfitz9800]

Did you watch the video?

[@gregorycooke32]

Great comparison review thanks. Real shame you didn't include the Sharper Image Air Boots as they are half the price than the cheapest ones you review here and by all accounts they hold up rather well, but maybe you can refresh this since it's over a year old now.

[@nickmadahar416]

Thanks. Can you also review Normatec 3 full body?

[@BestMassageTech]

I’ve filmed my review of their boots but not full body. Boots video will be up soon.

[@mattbarge]

Do any of these boots let you configure how long they hold pressure? The ones I've tried, they let go of pressure after 5-10 seconds, which is shorter than I prefer. Thanks!

[@someoneyouknow6632]

The rapid reboot regen allows you to customize hold time

[@dellsun3678]

Hey man! Love your reviews on KZbin as I am in the market for compression boots. Curious to know, as the normatec 2.0 price has dropped to $699. Which would you recommend, Normatec 2.0 or the therabody recovery prime, with both being at $699?

[@konk15d]

I think the Therabody is $599 now…

[@mr.worldfree3333]

Normative is better

[@adamdutton3474]

What about the super cheap ones any videos on them

[@Bubbles99718]

Do these things work?

[@martinrognashagen9963]

I am struggling to choose, the Normatec 3 and the Therabody prime air is now on sale. If you had to choose one, regardless of the price, which one would you pick?

[@BestMassageTech]

Prime

[@Shadybiglpac]

Dope

[@chazhill131]

I'm surprised you didn't review the Bob and Brad Leg Massager.

[@Sufficient4UsIsAllah]

Great review thanks. Just one thing. Sitting on a lighter background would’ve given a better idea of what the boots look like fully inflated.

[@leonardobraga2704]

Tks for your incredible information. Between recovery air prime or air pro 1 generation , in your opinion what are the best?

[@BestMassageTech]

RecoveryAir Pro Gen 1

[@jhhuang8967]

Why there isn't a comparison pants out there covers both leg and hip at once?

[@BestMassageTech]

There is. Therabody makes them

[@jhhuang8967]

@@BestMassageTech It's not a standalone unit. It requires their pro unit which already included boots. It's kinda of redundant and pricey.

@@jhhuang8967 completely agree but just pointing out that it does exist

I need it but can I buy it

[@ncghana1]

Do you know if these boots come in different lengths or if they continue to work if not zipped up fully? Or do you have any recommendations for those who are vertically challenged?

[@BestMassageTech]

If you’re looking for shorter pairs, consider getting a brand that allows you to deactivate chambers. Then you can deactivate the one closest to your core and unzip them to the desired length.

[@ncghana1]

@@BestMassageTech Do you know if the chamber has to be fully zipped to operate?

[@BestMassageTech]

@@ncghana1 it doesn’t. If the boots are unzipped, they will still fill.

[@ncghana1]

@@BestMassageTech thanks 👍

[@JCampbellDK]

Great run through. Would be useful to know which ones also offers units for arms and hips. Are you gonna be doing a give-away? :)

[@BestMassageTech]

Good point. No giveaway planned at the moment.

[@banned_user]

I'm curious to know, what makes you believe the normatec 2.0 pro is rated less than the normatec 2.0?

[@BestMassageTech]

Strictly based on my scoring system the 2.0 ranks higher, with the main thing making it rank higher being it’s priced under $1,000. Depending on what specs you value it could be perceived that the 2.0 pro is “better”. In terms of overall value (focusing on average viable features), which my scoring system optimizes for, the 2.0 is “better”.

[@banned_user]

@@BestMassageTech I ordered the 2.0 pro myself. Waiting on them to arrive. Do you know how to tell the difference between the boots? Or are they exact same, with the only difference being in the device unit itself ? If so, how can I tell if the set is the pro or not? Apart from it being written on the box ofc

[@BestMassageTech]

@@banned_user I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. The boots are the same. The only difference is the unit itself. The units are slightly different looking. The 2.0 has grey buttons and the pro is a smooth all black interface.

[@spearmint4093]

SO WHICH IS THE CHEAPEST and besT?

[@sajjadtv5696]

I'm interested

[@justincoleman7856]

So this is my only complaint is the fact that you did a review of 3 different RecoveryAir boots, but did not once do a review on the Reathlete air compression leggings (in case you're wondering, yes Amazon does sell them so that's an oversight on your part).

[@Jfk63OG]

Those don’t cover the knee and they suck I have them don’t get them

[@patkayda6842]

I have purchased the spreadsheet. How can I access it again since it has been deleted from my screen

[@BestMassageTech]

Please email me

[@HenryHass]

Normatec 3 is the worst of them. They have reduced the pressure and the compression effect does not exist. My athletes use pressure between 140 and 170. Normatec reach a maximum of around 100 or 110. It's so low that they removed the information about the pressure. Try Avanutri with 8 chambers and up to 260mmHg pressure. This really works for athletes with large muscle mass.

[@jonsopher6766]

Why do they have to be so expensive?

[@yesaira]

I’ll buy the ones you don’t use 😄

Cant help but think you are "sponsored" by Therabody.... shame that there is a consistent bias

I’m sorry to hear that you think that but I am absolutely not sponsored by them in any way.

[@aimathletes5221]

@@BestMassageTech i have watched many of your videos and each and every time there is a comparison between Therabody and Hyperice you always find a way to lean towards TB....

[@BestMassageTech]

@@aimathletes5221 that is because the products are better. Doesn’t mean I’m sponsored. If it was another brand I would be saying them but in terms of full size massage guns and compression boots, Therabody is the best. I compare the two a lot because they are the most popular brands that people recognize.
