Why I chose PROPulse

Most boots give you a handful of preset levels. PROPulse lets you set the exact pressure in 5 mmHg steps, and switch off any chamber over a sore spot. It’s built for athletes who know what they like, and for the physios who look after them.

Recovery boots

The product works great easy to use, my wife loves them. If you're thinking of buying some please, order them heaps in advance, my Delivery service took soooooo long over 10 weeks to arrive, I had to buy my wife a different gift for her celebration, it was so heart bracking.

K
Kaila

This product took over 5+ weeks to deliver. When trying to contact the company to follow up there was no number, no email address. I had to go onto their instagram and message them directly and even then it was slow with replies. My instagram comment also has since been deleted, would not purchase again

Great Product

When comparing this product to other similar brands, Recovery Project specs and inclusions exceed other brands at a more competitive price. It was a no-brainer choosing Recovery Project. I have used many other brands and the quality in these are top level. The carry bag is brilliant too.

Pro Pulse Review

I’ve been using the Pro Pulse compression boots from The Recovery Project and I’m honestly obsessed. They’ve been a game changer for my triathlon training, especially during higher volume weeks when my legs are feeling heavy and fatigued. The compression is noticeably stronger than other brands I’ve tried, which makes my recovery sessions feel super effective, and I love that there are multiple modes to choose from depending on what I need that day. They’re easy to use, feel premium, and have become a non-negotiable part of my recovery routine. The travel bag they come with is also such a bonus, it’s high quality, makes them super easy to pack away, and perfect for travelling to races or training camps. Highly recommend for anyone serious about training and recovering properly.

Love my compression boots but the shipping service needs improving

After some big teething issues with the shipping of my compression boots, they arrived on Christmas Eve and I am as obsessed as I expected to be! The boots are amazing, the pressure options, fit etc are fantastic. The founders response to my feedback email was also a really lovely surprise, and showed they care about their customers.

I would absolutely recommend buying these boots from TRP, however be prepared to wait a few weeks until you receive them after purchase, due to them using Australia Post as their shipping provider. I have already provided the feedback about changing providers, and even if there is a higher cost involved, I would absolutely pay this as a customer, for such a high value product.

Great product and amazing service!

The boots are great. Bought for my athlete son who loves them for recovery after training. The service from the guys at the Recovery Project was amazing, when Auspost lost my first order they were quick to respond and send me a replacement. Couldn’t fault them and would definitely buy from them again.

Fantastic product for recovery after sport

Fantastic product for my teenagers for recovery after their training or game day of sport. Highly recommend. We have taken them to every tournament since we purchased. We even took on plane, we were pulled up through hand luggage checkin but as instructed it’s ok to travel with as long as in hand luggage.

We recently added Recovery Project compression boots to our sports recovery space

We recently added Recovery Project compression boots to our sports recovery space, and they’ve been an absolute hit with our clients. The quality and performance are outstanding — you can immediately feel the difference in circulation and muscle relief after a session.

The boots are comfortable, easy to use, and deliver professional-level recovery results. Our active clients leave feeling lighter, more relaxed, and ready to train again sooner.

Highly recommend these for any recovery studio or anyone serious about improving their performance and recovery.

Luxory at home

I find them very helpful and I love them!
Being at home and having a deep compression on your legs in the evening or after a workout helps and it is definitely it's an add on when combined with other recovery methods.
Thank you very much!

Why choose PROPulse over cheaper 6-chamber boots?
PROPulse starts as gentle as 30 mmHg and adjusts in 5 mmHg steps up to 260, so you can find your exact pressure. The hoses run hidden inside each boot and come out at the bottom, so there's no loose tubing running over your legs. It's backed by Dr Peter Fowler, PhD sport scientist, and every order has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Will they fit me?
Yes! The boots are 100 cm long with a 75 cm circumference. If you’re shorter, you can deactivate the top chamber for a more comfortable fit.
What’s the difference between PROPulse and PROAir?
PROPulse: compact control unit with hoses. Runs on its battery (3+ hrs) or plugged in. Stronger pressure (up to 260 mmHg), fine 5 mmHg increments and chamber-by-chamber control.

PROAir: completely wireless, with a rechargeable battery (2+ hrs). Lighter and easier for travel. It can't run while plugged in.
How powerful are they?
They deliver up to 260 mmHg of pressure, with adjustable settings to go from gentle recovery to deep massage.
Can I skip sore or sensitive areas?
Yes, you can turn off individual chambers so you only get compression where you want it.
What if they don’t work for me?
No stress - you’re covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.
How long should I use them for?
We recommend 20 to 30 minutes per session, up to once a day. That's what most research has used.
Which massage mode should I choose?
Mode 2 is our most popular , it starts at your feet and works upward, giving you a wave-like massage. But you can experiment with all 6 modes to find your favourite.
Can I use them straight out of the box?
Yes! Just zip in, connect the hose, and power on. They’re ready to go immediately, no complicated setup.
Can I travel with them?
Yes - the compact control unit and integrated hoses make them easy to pack, and the battery lasts 3+ hours per charge.
Are they safe to use every day?
Yes, they’re designed for regular, safe use. If you have a medical condition (like lymphedema or circulation issues), we recommend checking with your healthcare provider first.
Do you offer a wider boot?
Yes - we have zip extenders that add up to 10 cm in circumference. Just let us know if you need them.
Can they be used without being plugged into a power point?
Yes - the control unit has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with 3+ hours of life. You can use it both plugged in or portably.
Are you the same company as The Recovery Guys?
No. The Recovery Project is an Australian business founded by Dr Peter Fowler, PhD sport scientist, and Amanda Fowler. We're not connected to The Recovery Guys or any brand with a similar name.
Do you offer Buy Now, Pay Later?

Yes. You can check out with Afterpay, Shop Pay, Zip or PayPal Pay in 4.
