At Electric Life Chiropractic, we believe that healing doesn’t stop when you leave the office — it continues in the little things you do every day to support your body, mind, and nervous system. Having the right tools at home can make a huge difference in how you feel, how you move, and how quickly you bounce back from stress and strain.
That’s why we’ve put together this list of our favorite go-to tools and accessories for mobility, recovery, and performance. Think of it as your starter kit for living an “Electric Life.”

🔹 Mobility & Recovery Tools
Foam Roller (Standard & Textured): Rolling out tight muscles improves circulation, reduces tension, and supports spinal mobility.
Lacrosse Ball / Mobility Ball: Perfect for targeting hard-to-reach areas like the shoulders, hips, or feet.
Neck Hammock / Cervical Traction Device: Gently decompresses the neck, relieving tension and promoting better posture.
Ankle or Yoga Blocks: Great for stretching, spinal decompression, and mobility drills.
These tools are about creating space in your body — space for movement, space for breath, and space for your nervous system to relax.
🔹 Resistance & Strength Tools
Resistance Bands (Open Therapy Bands): Gentle strengthening and rehab work for all levels.
Closed Loop Mini Bands: Excellent for activating the glutes, building hip stability, and preventing injury.
Tubing with Handles: A versatile way to add resistance to upper body and rehab exercises.
Medicine Ball: Helps train the core, build power, and challenge balance.
Weights: Helps train the core, build power, and challenge balance.
Barbells
Dumbells
Kettlebells
Sand Bags
Slam Balls
Weighted Ropes
Weighted Vests
Strength isn’t just about lifting heavy — it’s about building resilience in your nervous system and stability in your joints.
🔹 Stretching & Alignment Tools
Stretching Strap: Allows for safe, controlled flexibility work.
Posture Support Band: A gentle reminder to keep the spine tall and shoulders open throughout the day.
Yoga Wheel: A fun way to open the chest, stretch the thoracic spine, and improve flexibility.
Alignment tools keep your body moving in harmony, making it easier for your adjustments to hold and your posture to stay strong.
🔹 Nervous System & Recovery Aids
Acupressure Mat & Pillow: Stimulates circulation, reduces stress, and calms the nervous system.
Eye Mask or Weighted Blanket: Encourages deep rest and activates the parasympathetic “rest and digest” state.
Breathing Tools (Expand-A-Lung, SpiroTiger, etc.): Train lung capacity, vagal tone, and overall nervous system regulation.
Your nervous system is the control center of your body — when it’s regulated, your body can rest, heal, and perform at its best.
🔹 Daily Wellness & Performance Tools
Water Bottle (with Electrolytes): Hydration keeps your muscles, brain, and spinal discs functioning optimally.
Standing Desk or Laptop Riser: A must for preventing “tech neck” and supporting posture during long workdays.
Blue Light Blocking Glasses: Protect your circadian rhythm and reduce overstimulation from screens.
Small changes in your daily habits add up to big wins for your health and longevity.
Bringing It All Together
You don’t need every tool on this list — just a few that fit your lifestyle can make a powerful difference. The key is consistency. Using these tools a few minutes a day helps support your adjustments, keeps your nervous system balanced, and allows your body to heal and perform the way it’s designed to.
✨ At Electric Life Chiropractic, we like to say: healing happens here — but it also happens with you. By bringing the right tools into your daily life, you’re taking active steps toward more freedom, more movement, and more energy.
