Y’all, I don’t know if it’s farm life or (stupid) perimenopause, but I have a lot more body aches than I used to. Nothing debilitating, just enough to make me feel less than my best some days. I’m forever lifting and toting around here – which is great for bone health and general longevity – but I never really remember what action I took that could have caused the muscle soreness in a specific spot. Except for that one time when I fell hard on my tailbone in the barn after getting tangled up in baling twine, but that’s another post.
I hate to admit that I am kind of a gadget lover. Some have been, sadly, consigned to a drawer, after discovering that they’re not worth the hype, or that they’re just too annoying to use. But others have come to be my ride-or-die besties for helping me stay farm life ready, because the horses ain’t gonna feed themselves, as much as they’d like to.
- Red Light Therapy
This red light therapy mat has top shelf reviews, and it’s 25% off right now. I have a much more expensive red light wand that has been really helpful for pain and inflammation for injuries, but it’s super annoying to hold for 10 minutes on the affected area, and if it’s more than a small spot, moving it around to get the benefit can take ages. This looks like a great idea.
2. Massage gun
Somebody at my house is always using this thing, and for good reason. I hate the phrase “game changer” so much, but this massage gun is shockingly effective. It has multiple attachments and 7 speeds, so you have control over your experience. (I should mention that you probably won’t want to try this one in a Samantha way, ahem.) Can’t recommend this one highly enough – and it’s 33% off right now, too!
3. Large gel ice pack, flexible and reusable
This large gel ice pack can just be kept in the freezer for the moment you need it, which around here, is more often than we’d like to admit. It’s flexible, reusable, and comes in several colors, but the blue one is a steal at 26% off right now.
4. Far Infrared Heating Pad
Far infrared heat goes five times deeper than regular heating pads can go, so even though this is a bit fancier than your regular heating pad, it’s for good reason. It’s also 15% off, and very tempting!
