Let’s be real: there are a lot of recovery tools out there. Some of them work. Some of them end up as expensive closet clutter next to your mini trampoline and that resistance band you swear you’ll use again.
So let me save you some trial and error.
Here are the tools I actually use on myself & my clients.
REVO Smart Cupping Device
Forget old-school fire cupping — this smart little guy combines suction + heat. It’s like a mini therapist in your palm (minus the small talk).
🌀 Why I love it: It boosts blood flow, calms the nervous system, and is great for tricky spots like shoulders, hamstrings, and back.
🛒 Grab one here — or book a session with me and try it first
Massage Ball & Pink Humps
I've got two things I love and want to share with you. These two are my go to for my tight muscles that need a little compression and a little love.
🌀 Why I love them: Easy to use, and it teaches your brain to let go of tension (not just your muscles).
🛒 Here’s they are - Ive got some story telling for you in these links also...maybe it will help you to decipher it you want to purchase your own.
Magnesium Supplements
Sometimes tight muscles aren’t undertrained — they’re undernourished. Magnesium helps your muscles relax and supports better sleep.
🌀 Why I love it: It’s one of the few supplements that actually helps with stress recovery, especially after a long day of massage sessions or just being stressed the F out.
Moist Heat Pad
Dry heat? Meh. Moist heat? Game changer. It penetrates deeper into the muscle tissue and helps melt tension faster — especially on the low back, shoulders, and neck.
🌀 Why I love it: It’s my go-to when I feel like a walking muscle knot but don’t have time for a full recovery routine.
Recovery doesn’t need to be complicated — just consistent. If you're consistent shift will happen! Use tools that support you, not stress you out more.
And if you’re not sure what to try or how to use them properly, book a session and we will go over your questions in our session...just 5 minutes I promise.
