Pneumatic compression is a form of pressure massage in which a garment completely covering the limb (legs or arms) inflates and deflates in a cyclical pattern over a period of time. The process flushes fluids containing metabolic waste and ushers in fresh, nutrient-rich blood to the limbs, improving circulation and blood flow. This increased circulation will reduce muscle pain and soreness, decrease swelling, and offer greater pain relief and recovery.
JetBoots are faster, safer, and more effective than other pneumatic compression systems. When it comes to pneumatic compression, not all systems are created equal. Our commitment to applying the latest science and research to the product development process is a key component in providing the world with the most effective, efficient, and easy-to-use products. Here are some key, proprietary differences in our technology compared with other systems:
Wireless design: JetBoots are completely wireless. This means no cords, no hoses, nothing to plug in. With built-in pumps and controls they offer portable, hassle-free leg recovery for maximum convenience and easy storage.
True negative gradient of pressure: TruGrade Technology allows the garment to create precise pressure while inflating and deflating to sequentially travel up your legs from the bottom of your feet toward your heart through four overlapping chambers to temporarily increase circulation to the treated area. The spiraling overlap of chambers safely maximizes circulation compared with other designs that interrupt air flow and create potentially harmful peaks and valleys of pressure.
Safer with precise pressure control: Our system allows you to set your session to precise units of pressure and monitors pressure according to the size of the limb being treated to prevent dangerous over-constriction. Many systems deliver a wide range of pressures within an arbitrary setting, often inflating past a safe human blood pressure.
More effective with full inflation and deflation: JetBoot’s precise pressure control and true negative gradient allow for a fuller, more complete cycle of compression and release. This flushes out metabolic waste more effectively, and allows fresh, oxygenated blood to return to the limb faster.
Our JetBoots are truly revolutionary in pneumatic compression. Not only are the pump and one-touch control panel fully integrated into the boot itself, but JetBoots are also completely wireless. No cords. No external pumps. Nothing to plug in. That is truly anytime, anywhere recovery.
JetBoots offer the same advanced pneumatic compression technology as our RecoveryAir systems, providing safer and more effective treatments compared to competitors using a negative gradient of pressure to sequentially travel up the limbs from the foot to the heart to increase circulation, JetBoots help reduce muscle soreness and aid recovery. Now, our pneumatic compression technology is more portable and convenient than ever.
Yes. JetBoots can be used along with other products in Therabody’s ecosystem to form a powerful recovery routine, using the different therapies (modalities) to attend to different needs at various points throughout your day – no matter your age, activity level or lifestyle.
If you want an energizing boost before your run or when you first wake up in the morning, Theragun is there for you with the percussive power you need and can be applied to almost anywhere on your body.
On your feet all day or just completed an intense run/training session? Before you target areas with Theragun, wind down with a longer JetBoots session while you read or watch TV to really get a full flush of the legs and increase circulation – no effort required.
Theragun is an active, versatile way to hone in on any one muscle or area, while JetBoots provide a broader, passive option to addressing circulation in the body.
JetBoots can also be used in conjunction with PowerDot, Therabody’s electrical stimulation device. Both are best used when the body is relaxed and sitting. You can wear your JetBoots on your legs while using PowerDot on your upper body (lower back, abdomen, shoulders, traps).
Our customer service team is happy to assist you with any questions you might have about JetBoots and other Therabody.

True negative gradient of pressure: TruGrade Technology™ allows the garment to create precise pressure while inflating and deflating to sequentially travel up your legs from the bottom of your feet toward your heart through four overlapping chambers to temporarily increase circulation to the treated area. The spiraling overlap of chambers safely maximizes circulation compared with other designs that interrupt air flow and create potentially harmful peaks and valleys of pressure.
Faster recovery, 2-3x times the speed of competitors: FastFlush Technology™ aids in recovery by completing one full cycle in just 60 seconds.¹ This is two-to-three times faster than competitors. This refers to the flush cycle – or the way the boots inflate or deflate – which occurs in just 60 seconds. This makes RecoveryAir two-to-three times faster than other pneumatic compression boots. The more flushes, the faster recovery.
Safer with precise pressure control: Our system allows you to set your session to precise units of pressure and monitors pressure according to the size of the limb being treated to prevent dangerous overconstriction. Many systems deliver a wide range of pressures within an arbitrary setting, often inflating past a safe human blood pressure.

Superior, hygienic design: The RecoveryAir garments have non-porous medical grade material that helps prevent bacteria buildup and provides a resistant surface. The internal overlapping chambers provide one smooth surface to clean, which means no wiping under chamber flaps where bacteria can build up. This also means no smells. Unexposed to the user, this design provides a seamless, easy-to-clean surface on the interior of the boot.
¹Data based on comparison of Therabody’s FastFlush cycle to NormaTec’s Flush Mode.
While the core technology of RecoveryAir is still faster, safer, and more effective, our latest generation truly ushers in the future of pneumatic compression. Our systems still use a negative gradient of pressure to sequentially travel up the limbs from the foot to heart to increase circulation, help reduce muscle soreness, and aid recovery. Now, you’ll notice a modern, updated design aesthetic of the pumps, controls, and garments. The all-new JetBoots is also completely revolutionary in pneumatic compression — not only is the pump and one-touch control panel fully integrated into the boot itself, JetBoots is fully wireless. No cords. No external pumps. Nothing to plug in. That is truly anytime, anywhere recovery.
