Exercise elastics (resistance bands)

These are my recommended exercise elastics (resistance bands). As you explore the different links to find what meets your needs, pay special attention to the different lengths (the options below are 5ft but within the link you may find other options), materials (the options below are latex-free), durability (the reviews on the options below support good durability but it is necessary to take good care such as to not leave out in the sun which may increase the risk of the bands deteriorating and snapping), and resistance (be mindful of whether it is a beginner set with light resistance or a more advanced set with stronger resistance). The costs between products can vary over time. The following links will redirect you to Amazon.

Foam roller

These are my recommended foam rollers. As you explore the different links to find what meets your needs, pay special attention to the varying costs between different brands, the different lengths (within each link, you may select a bigger or shorter one depending on the body part you are targetting), what reviewers say about the firmness (too firm might be uncomfortable at first but it is generally feasible to get used to even firm rollers), and the type of surface (all of the links below have smooth surfaces which is generally preferred over those with bumps or "pressure points" that are generally less comfortable and less versatile in their usage).

Heating/Cooling pads (heat/cold packs)

These are my recommended heating/cooling pads (heat/cold packs). As you explore the different links to find what meets your needs, pay special attention to the different sizes/shapes (so that it conforms well to the size and shape of the body part you want to heat up or cool off), the materials (e.g., gel interiors can get to really high temperatures and may need to be wrapped with a humid towel to avoid direct contact, whereas grains are more moderate temperature but doesn't tend to hold the temperature for as long, and finally electric heating pads are at a higher risk of causing burns), and whether it is designed for both heating and cooling or just one or the other (below are all dual function). The costs may vary between brands and over time. The following links will redirect you to Amazon.

Elastic bandage wraps

These are my recommended elastic bandage wraps. As you explore the different links to find what meets your needs, pay special attention to the different sizes of elastic bandage wraps (e.g., bigger sized wraps for bigger body parts such as a thigh vs a wrist), the materials (e.g., if you are allergic to latex), and attachment style (e.g., hooks, velcro).
