20 Stretching Tools I Always Recommend
The motto for my studio has always been: “Come here and learn… go home and do.”
Research shows that consistency is the key to experiencing the biggest benefits of stretching. A little bit everyday goes a long way.
At the studio, we learn how to use a lot of different types of stretching tools to help us target specific areas of the body. I am always sending Amazon links for these tools to my students!
I am now putting them all in one place so they are easy to find and access. Have fun stretching!
1. Trigger Point Roller
The best roller on the market. It is soft on the outside with a hard center core. Great quality. Everyone needs one of these. Roll your quads.
2. Trigger Point Ball
This ball is great for rolling necks, glutes, pecs and shoulders. The round shape helps get into areas of the body that a regular roller can’t. It is lightweight and easy to travel with.
3. Pilates Body Ball
This ball works great for opening up the entire pelvis (front and back side) and low back region when placed under hips while lying down. It is a game changer for hip and pelvis mobility.
4. Rubz Foot/Hand Ball
The diameter and density of this ball is great for getting in between the small nooks and crannies (ligaments, tendons, muscles and bones) of the feet and hands. It opens up pathways for blood flow and relieves pain.
5. Rad Balls (3)
I love this set of balls. They are great for rolling shoulders and upper back on the wall and high hip area on the floor. Also, the small black ball is great for the bottom of the feet and hands. Easy to travel with.
6. Rad Roller
This roller is intense. I love it for rolling quads (one at a time), necks (life changing), and calves (the best).
7. Pilates Ring
This ring is great for stretching hamstrings and partner stretches. It can also be used to strengthen inner and outer thighs and increase hip mobility and balance.
8. Manduka Bolster
The very best bolster. I love bolster stretches because it opens up the front side of the upper body and creates space for our organ system to have more room to function higher.
9. Face Rollers (2)
Shop Plum Beauty Stainless Steel Roller for Face
These face rollers are not used for applying serums, but for releasing tight muscle tissue in the face and neck. They also help to move lymphatic fluid. They are very easy to use and travel well.
10. Dry Brush
Dry brushing has so many benefits. Our skin is our largest organ in our body, we have to take care of it. Dry brushing helps exfoliate dead and dry skin cells and moves lymphatic fluid which helps detoxify our entire body. It also relaxes muscle tissue and allows the body to calm down.
11. The Stick
This stick is great for rolling out tight quads, hamstrings, calves and necks. It allows you to find specific knots that need attention. It is easy to use and travel with.
12. Theragun Mini
This little vibration tool is life changing. Vibration is the best way to break up tight muscle tissue and creates blood and lymph fluid flow in the body which decreases inflammation. Get one!
13. Homemedics Massager
I love this because it has a long handle which makes it easy to hold and use on the back and neck. It can also be used on the entire body. It’s affordable.
14. Life Pro Vibration Plate
Vibration plates are key to the overall health of our body. Just a few minutes a day on the plate increases blood flow and circulation, lymphatic fluid flow and detoxification, balance and stabilization, oxygen levels and energy. The benefits are astounding. I have 4 of them in my studio! Stop by the studio for a class or private session and try it out!
15. Bosky Acupressure Finger Rings
This little fidget tool glides up and down fingers and toes and brings new life to them. Easy to use anywhere and anytime.
16. Shower Foot Scrubber
This is my new obsession! You just put it down on the shower floor and drop body wash on it and your feet have a bubble bath. It stimulates blood flow, exfoliates and energizes your feet. You can also put it on the shower wall and scrub your back.
17. Acupressure Pen
This little pen sends electrode sensations to break up scar tissue in overused areas of the body. Very effective in hands, especially thumb pads.
18. Nayoya Acupressure Pad/Pillow Set
The minute you stand or lay down on this pad, your body relaxes and calms down. The little spikes stimulate blood flow and circulation which decreases inflammation and increases oxygen flow and energy levels in the body.
19. Toe separators
So many of my students have feet issues, especially bunions. Mostly caused by wearing shoes that were too tight and/or high heels for many years. These toe separators are so soft and easy to use and feel so good. They help open up the toe pad and relieve foot pain.
20. Padded Folding Chair
In my studio, we use this chair a lot. There are so many ways to stretch with it. It is easy to pull out and put away.
