Riixo calf cuffs and ice ball review

If you’re a big fan of post-session recovery devices, then Riixco will be music to your ears. The cuffs provide tight, graduated compression to ease sore muscles, simultaneously using heat or cold therapy to either warm you up presession, or ease inflammation and DOMS after a hard workout.

We like the multi-tasking aspect, just whack on the cuffs and get on with your day, handy for the time-crunched triathlete. The steel massage ball functions in a similar way – keep in the freezer and roll along sore trigger-point spots, with the gel core keeping the ball cool. The jury’s still out on any proven benefits, but it certainly feels nice along painful, tight spots.

Verdict: top marks for convenience and soothing sore muscles 87%
