Crioterapia vs. Presoterapia ¿Qué terapia es la más adecuada para ti?
Magdalena Bürk
Recovery is not a luxury, but part of every training plan. Two methods are in focus: cold therapy and compression massage with Reboots Recovery Boots. Both complement each other perfectly – but which one suits you?
Targeted cold stimuli for conscious recovery – flexible, uncomplicated, and always with Reboots.
Cold therapy with Reboots
Reboots Ice Tub
The Reboots Ice Tub allows for a refreshing ice or cold water bath after long runs or intense training sessions. The robust insulation keeps the temperature constant – ideal for athletes seeking an intense, straightforward recovery experience.
Reboots Thermo Sleeves
For targeted cold stimuli on specific body parts, there are the Reboots Thermo Sleeves. These reusable temperature sleeves can be placed around joints or muscles, providing a pleasantly cooling sensation – ideal after training sessions or competitions.
This is how recovery becomes routine: planned, effective, and without additional effort.
Recovery Boots from Reboots
While cold acts locally, compression provides structure. The Reboots Recovery Boots work with intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) – a dynamic air compression that moves in waves along the legs.
Several air chambers fill with air one after the other, creating a gentle pressure sensation reminiscent of a steady massage. This method can be regularly integrated into daily life, providing a solid framework for recovery.
Whether after a competition, in a training camp, or in the evening on the sofa – Recovery Boots are easy to use, comfortable, and mobile. Especially models like the Reboots Go Series with battery operation allow for maximum freedom of movement.
Cold or compression – two ways, one goal
Both methods follow the same approach: to support the body after exertion and consciously wind down.
- Cold therapy offers intense, short-term stimuli that refresh the body and provide new energy.
- Compression massage with Reboots ensures recurring, relaxing sessions that bring structure and regularity to recovery.
When cold therapy is particularly beneficial
Cold therapy is ideal when you want to target specific areas after an intense workout, competition, or long run. Many athletes appreciate the immediate freshness and mental clarity that a quick cool-down in the Ice Tub or the use of Thermo Sleeves provides.
It's perfect for athletes who want to add variety to their recovery routine or value natural, straightforward methods.
When Recovery Boots are the better choice
Recovery Boots are most beneficial through regular use. Those who train a lot or travel frequently benefit from the easy handling and the ability to recover anytime – without any preparation.
They are particularly suitable for athletes looking for a solid recovery ritual or wanting to flexibly integrate their recovery into everyday life. The dynamic air compression creates a pleasant feeling of looseness, which is perceived as soothing after exertion or travel.
The perfect combination: cold and compression
Many athletes consciously combine both methods.
After tough sessions, cold therapy provides the initial recovery impulse, while the Recovery Boots bring structure and relaxation in the following hours or the next day.
This variation between stimulus and routine creates balance – both physically and mentally. It's the reason why cold and compression are an integral part of many pros' training plans.
Cryotherapy and Recovery Boots follow different approaches but complement each other perfectly. Cold provides freshness, compression provides structure – together they form a strong duo for conscious, versatile recovery.
Those who train regularly benefit from integrating both methods into their own rhythm – flexible, independent, and applicable at any time.
