10 Tips for Your Optimal Reboots Routine

Reboots enables an ideal recovery session. The following 10 tips and tricks will help you get the full 100% effectiveness out of your Reboots session.
Fit makes the difference
Suitable Size
The right size is crucial for an effective compression massage. Only when Recovery Boots or Recovery Pants 2.0 fit perfectly can the pressure chambers work evenly and precisely. A proper fit ensures a comfortable pressure sensation and a clean effect from bottom to top. It's not just about height, but especially leg length and circumference. We've compiled all the important criteria for size selection in a clear article for you.
Why the timing of your recovery is crucial
The Right Timing
Reboots Recovery Boots and Pants can basically be used at any time. However, the application is particularly effective shortly after training, when the body is still actively working and set for recovery.
In the first 30–60 minutes after exertion, metabolic processes are running at a high level. During this phase, the compression massage can be optimally integrated into the natural recovery dynamics. If the application is carried out significantly later, the body is already in rest mode – the recovery remains pleasant but less efficient.
The key is consistency: Better to integrate it consistently into your routine than to wait for the "perfect moment".
How Your Posture Enhances the Effectiveness of Compression Massage
The Right Position
For the compression massage to work optimally, your position should support natural blood flow. Use gravity to your advantage – not against it.
Place yourself as horizontally as possible with your legs extended. Your upper body can be slightly elevated, but make sure your hips aren't bent too much to avoid hindering blood flow. Ideally, your toes should be below heart level.
A relaxed, continuous posture ensures that the pressure waves can work evenly from bottom to top.
Why Properly Placed Tubes Are Crucial
Ensure free airflow
To ensure your Reboots work perfectly, the air hoses must be free. Make sure they are not pinched, kinked, or under pressure – for example, by sitting on the hose or placing them in an awkward position.
Fluid as the Basis of Your Recovery
Don't forget to hydrate
Adequate hydration supports every recovery routine. Make sure to stay well-hydrated before, during, and after use. Water, electrolytes, and salty drinks help maintain fluid balance – especially after intense training sessions.
Individual instead of maximal
Find Your Comfort Pressure
When it comes to pressure, comfort beats maximum. Everyone experiences compression differently—depending on leg circumference, daily condition, and training load. So start with moderate pressure and gradually work your way up. The application should always feel good, never uncomfortable.
Since sensations can change from day to day, the Reboots systems offer multiple pressure levels. After tough sessions or competitions, less pressure might be beneficial, while on other days, it can be more intense. Listen to your body—it’s the best guide for effective Recovery.
Target your massage precisely
Individual control via the Reboots app
Most Reboots models allow you to customize the compression chambers individually. Sensitive areas can be specifically excluded, and individual chambers can be deactivated if needed – for example, if the Boots are a bit too long. Control everything easily with the Reboots App: select programs, adjust pressure, and manage chambers individually – for flexible Recovery tailored to your current body feeling.
