    Surprising how few comments supporting these. I have a pair and they are amazing. Psychologically alleviating. Legs about 15% more youthful feeling after session with these. Also, feel like my heart has been strengthened after several sessions in getting used to the internal body pressure build up. Increase in mobility. Increase in general stamina when using legs.

      What does "internal body pressure build up" mean?

    • @oregonstrong1080
      @oregonstrong1080 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @colleend2977
      Internal body pressure is the result of semi-rigid cells that are filled with water. The chemical forces between water and ions like sodium create and maintain this pressure.

    I get a lot of leg and toe cramps. I also have noticed lately that I am getting some unattractive veins showing up around my knees, along with heavy feeling legs. I have always been an active healthy person. Yoga/streching, walks, don't sit for long, etc. I feel that I stay pretty hydrated too, but I wonder if there is something else going on. I do have a doctor's appt next week to see. In the meantime though, I love using these leg compression boots. When I use them, I feel that my legs do feel somewhat lighter and I can sleep through the night without those awful cramps. Plus I have discovered my new relaxing, self-care time: I use my compression time to listen to some music, and/or read, and go on about the rest of my day feeling good!

    I got these to help with my running and weight lifting, while I dont use them as much as id like simply because I never have time, these really alleviate the Doms the following day if I use them after a training session. They are much more noticeable than say a massage gun tool. Everyone is different but these definitely make my legs feel better.

      I gad RLS.
      Did Research on Google Medical search.
      Found a research paper from Australia discovered bodies lacking enough Magnesium, Zinc, B vitamins have RLS.
      Bought Dr. Dean's mineral and ReMag, which replenishes electrolytes and other trace minerals....
      Then got time released B vitamins....
      Worked like a charm overnight, actually.

    I was introduced to the compression boots at EOS gyms. It was part of my “black card” membership.
    I started to use them after my runs or leg workouts and my legs felt good afterwards and I wasn’t getting long term aches after my workouts. My wife tried them too and she noticed the same thing so we bought the Sharper Image boots from Costco.
    Been using these boots several times a week for the past year and it really helps. I’m 54 years old and I got my mom the same boots and it’s helped her walking as well

    As I understand it, you restricted your review to the alleviation of DOMS without touching on the impact on post-race lactic acid for sprint athletes. In addition, the graphs presented for 400m sprints seemed to show a marginal improvement in recovery. Isn't a marginal improvement all an elite athlete can aim to achieve... in as many aggregated areas as possible?

      You need to have that buildup fluid drain by your doctor , if you have scars tissue look into doing Type 4 laser Therapy only a doctor can apply this. Not your typical cold or hot laser is a whole different type of laser. It will dissolve your scars tissue and reduce inflammation. I did 5, 6 sessions in 3 weeks span. It worked for me

    So I tried a boot, the Normatec 3, but I question the whole concept of compression boots. You feel the same way after a session as before, I was biking for 5 hours, was really drained, hoping to get some relief. But no difference, well then I was hoping maybe at least it feels like a massage, that it would at least feel good, but also not really. It's just compressing, doesn't feel like a massage either. I got it at Best Buy and returned it a week later. That was a waste of energy and time.

Got reboots pants GO a little over a year ago and never looked back. I use it almost daily before and after training and i do feel a difference when i get lazy n slack off using them. A bit pricey but deffo pays for itself over time.

      In a short space of time, I’m back to normal. And that’s from someone who really didn’t know if I’d be able to walk normally ever again, the pain was so bad. I couldn’t weight bear at all. Using crutches I was able to stay mobile.
