Running Tip: Muscle Recovery Tools

What’s almost more important that your running training? Your running recovery! And these days, there are numerous tools and products that can help speed up your recovery so you can get back on the trail faster and avoid injury. Here are our top recomendations.

  • Foam Roller

Dust off that foam roller from your closet (or finally invest in one!) and your body will thank you. Many runners enjoy a textured roller, such as a TriggerPoint roller.

  • Massage Gun

Bring the spa to your home with a personal massage gun, like a TheraGun.

  • Vibrating Roller

Want to foam roll AND get a massage? Combine the two above with a vibrating roller, which helps to disrupt pain signals to your brain so you can roll deeper.

  • Heating Pad

Heat therapy is great for sore muscles – whether they’re sore from running or not!

  • Epsom Salt Bath

Admittedly, this is less high tech and more old school. But it still works!

  • Firefly Recovery Device

Firefly delivers electrical pulses to stimulate the peroneal nerve in your leg, triggering muscle contractions that boost blood flow.

This enhanced circulation speeds up the body's natural recovery process, helping to reduce muscle soreness and get you back to your active routine quicker.
