Why our Therabody Recovery Compression Boots are perfect after your Great Walk in Fiordland!
Fiordland is one of the most spectacular places on earth — and it just so happens to be home to some of New Zealand’s most iconic multi-day hikes. Whether you’ve just finished the Kepler, Milford, or Routeburn Track, or you’re doing a few Great Walks back-to-back, one thing is guaranteed: your legs are going to feel it.
At Fiordland Massage Clinic, we know what it takes to hike through this wild landscape — the climbs, the descents, the kilometers underfoot. That’s why we offer the Therabody Recovery Compression Boot Package — an effective way to speed up your recovery and get you back on the trail feeling fresh, fast.
What Makes Recovery So Important Between Great Walks?
These walks are no small feat. The Kepler Track alone is 60 km of alpine climbs, ridgelines, and switchbacks. Add a second Great Walk just days later, and you’re asking your body to do a huge amount of physical work with minimal recovery time.
That’s where many hikers fall short — they underestimate the toll back-to-back hikes take on the muscles, joints, and circulation. Even with a rest day between, the legs can remain stiff, heavy, and sore from lactic acid build-up and muscle fatigue. If not properly addressed, this can increase your risk of injury and make your next hike a lot less enjoyable.
Our Therabody Recovery Compression Boots are designed to break that cycle and give your body the boost it needs to repair and reset — fast.
What Are Compression Boots — and Why Are They So Good?
Therabody’s RecoveryAir boots use dynamic pneumatic compression — that means they fill with air in timed sequences to rhythmically squeeze and release the muscles in your legs. This is super relaxing and so beneficial.
Here’s how they help:
- Flush lactic acid & reduce inflammation
After long hikes, your muscles are often tight and filled with metabolic waste. Compression speeds up the body’s natural clearance process. - Boost blood circulation
Improved blood flow means faster delivery of nutrients and oxygen to tired muscles, helping them heal. - Decrease muscle soreness
The gentle pulsing action helps relax tight quads, calves, hamstrings, and feet. - Enhance flexibility and performance
Looser, more oxygenated muscles perform better — simple as that.
This recovery method is used by elite athletes, trail runners, and high-performance hikers around the world. Now, it’s available to you, right here in Te Anau.
