What Hyperice makes, and why we feature it

Hyperice makes Normatec air compression boots, Hypervolt massage guns, Venom heat wearables and Vyper vibrating rollers. We feature two: Normatec 3 Legs ($899 list), a boot system with 7 levels and 5 zones that inflates up to 110 mmHg, and the Hypervolt 3 ($249 list), a 2026 massage gun with 5 speeds and 5 heads including a heated one, per Hyperice.

The regulatory record is the main reason Hyperice is here. FDA cleared Normatec 3 through 510(k) K220217 in February 2022, a clearance that names the exact model we list, and openFDA shows earlier NormaTec clearances going back to 2001.

Testers back the hardware. iRunFar used Normatec 3 for about six months through two ultramarathons and called it a great option, and Garage Gym Reviews scores it 4.6 out of 5. CNN Underscored tested 16 massage guns and said the Hypervolt 3 gave its top pick a real run for its money.

The proof

  • FDA cleared Normatec 3 through 510(k) K220217 on February 25, 2022, as "an air pressure massager intended to temporarily relieve minor muscle aches and/or pains" and to temporarily increase circulation. Source
  • The Normatec 3 510(k) summary lists IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-6 and 60601-1-11 compliance for the system. Source
  • openFDA lists the Normatec 3 clearance K220217 alongside earlier NormaTec clearances back to 2001 (checked October 6, 2026). Source
  • A peer-reviewed study of 16 men found 5 minutes of Hypervolt calf massage raised ankle range of motion by 5.4 degrees (18.4%) with no change in strength; it used an earlier Hypervolt model, not the Hypervolt 3. Source
  • The Hypervolt 3 EU Declaration of Conformity lists the EN 60335-1 and EN 60335-2-32 appliance safety standards plus EMC and radio standards. Source
