Cold Plunge
If you’re deciding whether to DIY or buy a tub/chiller, start here.
Sauna & Heat Therapy
My shortlist of at-home infrared saunas by budget and use case.
Mobility & Pain Relief
Foam Roller (best all-around)
Great for stiffness, warmups, and general soreness—especially legs and upper back.
Massage Gun (best for tight spots)
Best when you want quick relief on calves, glutes, quads, and shoulders—don’t crank it on joints.
Lacrosse Balls (best for targeted work)
Perfect for pinpoint areas like feet, glutes, and upper back trigger points.
These are general-purpose tools. If pain is sharp, radiating, or persistent, get it checked out.
