Our Story

Hi, I'm Matt Richardson, founder of RECOVR LABS.

I didn't start this company because I wanted to create another recovery brand.

I started it because I was looking for better solutions to problems I was experiencing myself.

After getting back into competitive football, I started using compression recovery boots at a professional recovery facility. They helped, but they also showed me everything that was wrong with the experience. If my ankle or foot was swollen after a game, I couldn't simply turn that section off. The boots only let me disable chambers from the top down, which made no sense for the way I actually needed to recover.

Then I discovered something else.

I had always assumed recovery technology like this was only for professional athletes or people willing to spend thousands of dollars. It wasn't. The biggest barrier wasn't the technology. It was access.

That's when RECOVR LABS began.

I wanted to build recovery tools that solved real problems, not imagined ones. Products that worked the way people actually recover. Premium quality without unnecessary complexity. Equipment that athletes, parents, tradies, busy professionals and everyday people could all use from the comfort of home.

As life changed and I became a dad, time became even more valuable. Spending hours driving to appointments wasn't realistic anymore. Recovery had to fit around life, not the other way around.

That same thinking led to our Relaxation Goggles.

Like a lot of people, I found it almost impossible to switch off. I'd tell myself I was relaxing, but within minutes I'd be scrolling on my phone, replying to messages, checking emails or comparing myself to everyone else online. It looked like rest, but it wasn't recovery.

The goggles gave me something I couldn't seem to give myself: permission to stop.

For 15 minutes, there are no notifications, no distractions and no temptation to keep doing. Just warmth, gentle massage, calming audio and complete blackout. It's become my way of telling both my body and my mind that training is finished, work is finished and it's time to recover.

That idea sits at the heart of everything we create.

We believe recovery isn't something you earn once you've worked hard enough. It's what allows you to keep showing up tomorrow.

Whether you're chasing Olympic dreams, training for your first HYROX, working long days on your feet, raising young kids or simply trying to feel your best, recovery matters.

Every product we release has to answer one simple question:

Does this genuinely make recovery easier, more effective and more likely to become part of everyday life?

If the answer is no, we don't make it.

We're not interested in hype or gimmicks. We believe in honest, evidence informed products that actually get used. Recovery tools that fit into real life. Premium quality without the pretension.

Train. Recover. Perform.
