Therabody JetBoots Pro Plus Review: 3-in-1 Recovery Tech

Source: Wired

Compression

The boots apply even, targeted pressure up and down the legs, which helps increase blood and lymphatic circulation and reduce lactic acid buildup. After use, legs feel lighter and less stiff the next day. Competitive athletes will especially appreciate this recovery tool because it makes back‑to‑back training days feel more doable.

Vibration

The vibration function adds another layer of relief, especially around the calves and hamstrings. It feels great post‑workout and helps with delayed‑onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by easing tenderness and restricted range of motion. The vibrations are also useful beforehand to warm up muscles and improve mobility.

Infrared LED Therapy

Therabody’s infrared LED therapy is offered at 850 nm, a wavelength typically used for reducing inflammation. The company states that the irradiance varies based on treatment time to deliver an optimal dose of 60–300 J (joules) of energy to the lower‑leg muscles. These energy values are referenced in a systematic review on photobiomodulation therapy for improving muscular performance and reducing fatigue.

While the LED component feels like a luxe add‑on, it aligns with common techniques used by athletes and individuals recovering from injury. For best results, use the boots with bare legs; synthetic pants can block skin contact and cause itchiness when combined with compression and vibration.
