Recovery boots

Watch

Set it up

1. 1Sit or lie back, zip each leg in with the boot snug but not tight
2. 2Connect the boots to the controller and switch it on
3. 3Pick the pressure — start low if it's your first time — and the time, usually 20–30 minutes
4. 4Relax. Have a coffee. Unzip and put them back where they live when you're done

Watch out for

• Cranking the pressure straight to max
• Using them with open wounds, DVT, or if you're pregnant — check with a GP first
• Leaving them out for the next person to trip over
