Recovery & Soft Tissue
Hyperice Hypersphere
I love recommending this one because it does something most people do not expect. Vibration does not only work on the muscle tissue itself. It also calms the nervous system's protective guarding response around a tight or sensitized area. In many of my hypermobile and chronic pain clients, that feeling of tightness is often the nervous system bracing rather than a true tissue restriction. A few minutes with this tool before you move can help your body feel safe enough to let go.

Hyperice Venom Go
This is one of my favorite tools to send home with a patient who wants something simple and portable. Heat and vibration paired together give your nervous system a gentle, reassuring signal, and the vibration also gives your brain something else to focus on besides the pain. You do not need a full recovery routine to feel the benefit. A few minutes anywhere on the body can be enough.

Hyperice Venom 2 Left Shoulder Wrap
I frequently recommend this for clients with long term rotator cuff pain, especially the commuters among us who sit for long periods throughout the day. I also recommend it often for my clients with TMJ pain. This surprises people every time, but a great deal of jaw pain actually refers from trigger point one in the upper trapezius muscle, and treating that area with heat and vibration works remarkably well for this population.

Hyperice Venom 2 Leg Wrap
My runners love this one, and it usually surprises them just as much. In many cases, I move away from the old daily icing strategy and replace it with heat and vibration applied twice a day to the knees and calves instead. You can use the Venom Leg on the calves, quads, hamstrings, and knees, wherever you need it most.

Hyperice Venom 2 Back Wrap
I recommend this often for clients dealing with SIJ pain, sciatica, or general sciatic nerve pain. Even some of my plantar fasciitis clients find true resolution once we address hip stability, calm tension through the low back, and step away from constant stretching. The Venom Back is especially wonderful for anyone sitting through Zoom meetings all day, since it is quiet enough to use at your desk and helps calm the muscles when getting up to walk around simply is not an option. It also works beautifully for cramping or lateral hip pain.

Hyperice Heated Head Attachment
This little attachment is wonderful for the areas that carry so much of our stress: the base of the skull, the jaw, and the scalp. My migraine clients, TMJ clients, and clients with occipital neuralgia especially love this one. If you tend to run tense through these areas, a few minutes of targeted heat can help you unclench before or after a hard day.

Gaiam Foam Roller
A trustworthy, no frills tool for improving how your tissue glides and moves. Rolling also gives your nervous system helpful sensory feedback that can quiet down guarding, so I like to have clients use this before or after activity as part of a simple routine.

MuscleRehab Spray
I recommend the full MuscleRehab line for the same reasons as their Muscle Soak above. This is a company based locally right here in the Woodlands, Texas, and their products combine USP clean Epsom salt with arnica, clary sage, black pepper, and peppermint for real aromatherapy, moisturizing, and muscle and joint relief. Many of my clients tell me these help them wind down and sleep better, which matters more than people realize when it comes to managing pain.

MuscleRehab Soak
I like to call this the MuscleRehab Muscle Soak, since MuscleRehab is a company based locally right here in the Woodlands, Texas. Their ingredients are carefully sourced, and the arnica and essential oils work alongside high quality magnesium to help with soreness, pain, and general inflammation. It is a soak I feel good about recommending, both for what it does for your body and for who is behind it.
