What Are Speed Hound Recovery Boots?

Speed Hound Recovery Boots are a form of pneumatic compression designed to help speed recovery after strenuous exercise or athletic events by improving circulation and reducing muscle soreness.  The leg attachments slide on like boots then fill up with air, compressing the limb distally to proximally (feet to hips), thereby facilitating the return of metabolites, lactic acid and inflammation back into the circulatory system.  This results in increased mobility, decreased pain and muscle soreness and ultimately improved function.

Muscle soreness after exercise is a result of several different factors; the breakdown of muscle tissue, released metabolites (like lactic acid), and inflammation. When not addressed, these byproducts remain in the legs, which in turn cause the feeling of stiffness and soreness. Speed Hound Recovery Boots are designed to address this issue by draining the legs through a rhythmic massage.  Similar to a massage, each segment of the recovery boots will first compress in a pulsing manner and then release. This will repeat for each of the four chambers of the recovery boots as the compression pattern works its way up your limb, effectively mimicking the muscular contractions of the legs to move these pain-causing fluids and metabolites out of the tissue.  Treatments of just 15 minutes can provide substantial results, although our recovery boots allow for 10, 20 or 30 minute compression sessions so you can choose what’s right for you.

The Speed Hound ProPerformance Recovery System also allows for on the fly pressure & zone adjustability so you’re always in control of the intensity of the massage as well as what areas are being treated.
