As clinicians with a focus on orthopedic and sports injuries and rehabilitation, we are often asked about what gear and equipment we use to help keep ourselves going. So without further ado, here is a short list of some of the tools we have found beneficial with a cost-effective focus (we have absolutely no affiliation with any products, rather this is a list gathered from fellow clients, athletes, and clinical experience):
Resistance Bands:
Theraband with build in loops for multiple foot/hand/set up variables (each color is a different resistance). Click here to check them out!
Tubing Kits:
There are plenty of options from 2lbs to 30lbs. They come with handles and a carry bag. Click here to check them out!
Suspension Trainer:
This link provides you with a trainer similar to TRX, with all the quality and not the high price tag.
Voodoo Bands:
These bands are perfect for compression wrapping, pain reduction at joints and in soft tissue, and reducing crepitus. Click here to check them out!
Mobilization Gear:
Acupressure Mat (great for relieving tension in tight muscles, particularly the back)
Ice Roller (a non-messy (i.e. no water dripping from ice cups!) way to ice down smaller swollen and painful tissue areas)
