Affiliate Disclosure & Editorial Policy

Last Updated: April 18, 2026

At RecoveryGearLab, our primary mission is to provide data-driven, independent lab tests of recovery technology. Transparency with our readers is our highest priority.

1. FTC Affiliate Disclosure

In compliance with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines, please assume that links on RecoveryGearLab.com pointing to retail partners (such as Therabody, Hyperice, or Amazon) are affiliate links. This means if you click on a link and purchase an item, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.

This affiliate compensation helps fund our lab testing equipment, decibel meters, and the operational costs of running this independent portal.

2. Our Editorial Independence

We maintain strict editorial integrity. Our testing protocols and review scores are never influenced by affiliate partnerships. To ensure objectivity:

We buy our own gear: We purchase the vast majority of the massage guns and recovery boots we test at retail price.
No paid reviews: We do not accept direct payment from brands (e.g., Therabody, Hyperice) in exchange for positive reviews or higher scores.
Data-driven results: Our ratings are based on measurable metrics like stall force, amplitude, and decibel (dB) levels recorded in our testing environment.
