How We Test
Everything.
RecoverlyLab uses a clinical-grade, 5-stage protocol to evaluate every recovery device. Here is exactly what we do, step by step.
Device Acquisition
We purchase every product at retail price. We never accept free samples or sponsored units — this ensures our analysis is never influenced by manufacturer relationships.
217+ devices tested since 202360-Day Lab Protocol
Every device undergoes a minimum 60-day structured testing protocol. We measure objective metrics — RPM, force output, thermal data, pressure distribution — using calibrated lab instruments.
Standardized ISO-adjacent methodologyBio-mechanical Analysis
Our physiology team evaluates each device against anatomical benchmarks. We test across different body compositions, activity levels, and recovery needs to build a complete performance profile.
12-person in-house testing panelScoring & Ranking
Devices are scored across 8 dimensions: effectiveness, comfort, durability, portability, ease of use, safety, value, and clinical evidence. No paid placements ever.
8-axis scoring frameworkPublishing & Disclosure
Full test methodology, raw data, and conflict-of-interest disclosures are published alongside every review. We earn via affiliate commissions — but our rankings are never for sale.
100% transparent affiliate modelThe Rules We Never Break.
All devices purchased at retail. Zero manufacturer relationships.
Raw data and methodology published with every review.
Any researcher can replicate our tests using published protocols.
Minimum 60-day usage — not a weekend impression.
