Using pulse technology and dynamic air compression, the Normatec Premier boots inflate and deflate over five overlapping zones and help to improve circulation, reduce any inflammation in the muscles and help with lymphatic drainage in the legs.
Although it’s not currently scientifically proven that compression boots can aid with recovery, athletes such as Olympic runner Keeley Hodgkinson and footballer Harry Kane rely on them to make sure they can train hard and not suffer with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) the next day.
Celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston and Dua Lipa have been raving about recovery boots, which use compression therapy technology to help ease muscles after an intense workout.
Normatec’s Premier boots are the first to say goodbye to the clunky air compression unit, along with the hoses which attached the unit to the boot.
Although these slightly futuristic looking massage gadgets are a bulky affair, brands such as Hyperice and Therabody are creating new compression therapy boots every year.
