Jack Black鈥檚 Dragon Ice balm聽is subtle in scent (menthol) and sensation (a slight warming), but it alleviates muscle and joint pain while decreasing inflammation. The cream鈥檚 resin, derived from the South American dragon鈥檚 blood tree, also works to heal and protect skin.聽


OS1st聽Foot Sleeve ($40)

The OS1st foot sleeve has six compression zones, offering each part of your foot and ankle targeted support to treat plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain, and poor circulation.


Brazyn聽Morph Foam Roller聽($68)

It鈥檚 hard to innovate a foam roller, but Brazyn鈥檚 Morph聽makes the traditionally cumbersome recovery staple portable. Just over a foot long and less than two pounds, it鈥檚 collapsible and fits easily into a backpack or carry-on without sacrificing strength. Holds up to 350 pounds.聽


Headspace聽App聽($13 per month)

Studies show that regular meditation reduces stress, which in turn enhances recovery. An app for meditating sounds counterintuitive, but Headspace (for Android and iOS) uses guided sessions and animated videos to hold your hand through the first stages of an often daunting-seeming practice.聽


Jade聽Harmony Mat ($75)

The plush cushioning and strong grip of Jade鈥檚 Harmony mat聽makes pre-workout active stretching or foam rolling on an off day more comfortable than it should be.

To work small tendons, ligaments, and soft tissue, you need precision control. A golf ball does the trick, but we like the HyperIce HyperSphere聽for the added vibration, which loosens up fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles.


Compex聽Wireless USA Muscle Stimulator ($1,150)

Research shows that electrical stimulation improves strength and reduces fatigue. Compex鈥檚 Wireless USA muscle stimulator聽is the most versatile at-home option on the market. With nine customizable programs tailored to specific athletes and workouts鈥攅ndurance, strength, and warm-up, to name a few鈥攊t can be used before, during, or after a workout.


HyperIce聽Compression Sleeves (from $75)

HyperIce鈥檚 compression sleeves allow for simultaneous icing and squeezing. Four options鈥攌nee, shoulder, back, and utility (for use on the ankle, elbow, or shin)鈥攃over most problem spots.聽
