How We Research

How We Research Products

Recover Stack does not run a lab, and we do not claim to have used every massage gun, boot or cold plunge we write about. Here is what we actually do for each recommendation.

• Specs checked against the live listing. Stall force, amplitude, pressure ranges, battery ratings, dimensions and prices come from the manufacturer and the current Amazon or brand listing.
• Owner reviews read at scale. We look for patterns across hundreds or thousands of reviews: what breaks, what leaks, what people return and why.
• Published research. For recovery methods like compression, cold exposure, red light and supplements we point to the studies that exist and say when the evidence is thin.
• Warranty and return terms. A solid warranty matters more than a marketing claim, so we factor it in.

If we ever have a product in hand, the review will say so plainly. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases, and that never changes which products we recommend.
