Soft-Tissue Mobilization
This tool helps you reach those hard-to-reach knots for trigger point massage! Definitely a go-to for me when my neck is tight.
Blue Manual Massager Hook for Muscle Pain Relief
This feels great on sore muscles and is perfect for targeting the calves and thighs! Also a great option to help loosen up pre-workout or pre-game.
Muscle Roller
The Theragun mini is so convenient to travel with and give you quick relief from aches and pains! I have small hands, so I love how ergonomic this option is.
Theragun Mini
Pain Relief
I prefer using this topical pain-relieving gel in my training room because the smell isn’t as strong as other options. The roll-on is perfect for quick uses so the product doesn’t get on your hands!
Biofreeze® Pain Relief Roll-On, 2.5 fl oz
There’s a small learning curve to using this, but it can provide great pain relief even up to 30 minutes after use! A great option to help you finish your workout, rehab exercises, or game with less discomfort.
Muscle Stimulator for Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain
I love the versatility these provide as a hot or ice pack! I prefer this option specifically because of how moldable it is; much more comfortable than those rigid ice packs!

Supplements
Magnesium is known to help with muscle relaxation and supporting sleep, which is essential to muscle recovery!

I have a hard time taking the regular large fish oil pills, so these minis are perfect! Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties - perfect for muscle and injury recovery.

I like these as a convenient, on-the-go protein option, especially post-practice. They always have a variety of flavors - my favorite is cafe latte!

I love the simplicity of the ingredients in this protein. If you’re looking for a simple, clean protein powder, this is a great option I like for recipes or a thick protein milkshake.
