Compression Boots for Recovery Are They Worth the Money
I have been looking at those Normatec compression boots for a while now but they are quite a big investment. I have a lot of leg fatigue after my heavy squat and deadlift days and I am wondering if these boots actually speed up recovery or if they just feel nice.
Do they really help clear out metabolic waste and reduce soreness? I have read some conflicting studies on the effectiveness of pneumatic compression for athletes. I am curious to hear from people who have actually used them at home on a regular basis.
Are there any cheaper alternatives like the Air-Relax boots that are just as good? I do not want to spend a thousand dollars if a four hundred dollar version does the same thing. Any feedback on the durability and ease of use would be greatly appreciated.
