Jason Goldberg (jasongk is his handle) is the best person to talk to. Yes, he sells the units, but he is a very honest and knowledgeable guy. He won't feed you a line of bull.

I have the sport and it does work. Is it like an actual sports massage? No way, not even close but it does do a good job of easing tired muscles a bit. My main problem is being to lazy to put it on and use it. For example yesterday I did my first decent bike workout after about a month off, then ran and my legs were aching at night. Lay there for a while thinking I should put the compex on but was too lazy and went to bed.

Thanks Tai. I didn't think it would come close to a sports massage but, in your opinion, does it help get rid of that tired/'tight'/stiff feeling in your muscles. That's what I really want it for.

Searching for the bliss of ultimate exertion.

I had a Compex for a while but got rid of it. I did not feel like it was worth the money or the time to use it. However, the active recovery cycle did seem to relieve/loosen tired muscles. I spoke to a PT about this and they were highly skeptical that the product actually flushed lactate acid or really did anything but dull pain sensors in the area being used.

That's my 2 cents.....

I wonder if these PTs had ever used a Compex, or had they just read the brochure....

I have a Compex unit that I try to use after every run session, is it better than a sports massage, probably not, but how would I ever get to having a massage 2 or 3 times a week.

IF you can afford it, the Compex is a great addition to the great arsenal of performance/recovery aids, a bit like RotorCranks & Disc Wheels.If however you can't afford it, then don't get one. simple really.

for the cost of a Compex, you could probably have lots of massages in the coming season, it's the following season where the benifit will be most felt.
