Airex Balance Pad
Great for ankle stabilization training! Use it for single leg balance, air squats, or as a way to cushion your knees while performing exercises in a kneeling position.
Theraband
Great for shoulder, scapular, and hip exercises. Check out our exercises under the “media” tab on our homepage.
Flexbar, Red
We use this product primarily for wrist and forearm strengthening. The red bar has a lighter amount of resistance.
Foot Rocker Calf Stretcher
This product is great for stretching the calf muscles in a “foot neutral” position.
Home Ranger Shoulder Pulley
We at times recommend this product for gentle stretching for patients with “frozen shoulders”
Superfeet “Green” Premium Insoles
These are our most recommended “over the counter” orthotic. These are a much more affordable alternative to custom made orthotics. The green model offers a higher degree of arch support.
Superfeet “Black” Premium Insoles
This model has the lowest degree of arch support, more ideal for people who cannot tolerate higher degrees of structure.
Superfeet Delux ¾ length Women’s Insoles
These will fit into most women’s flats and offers moderate support.
Superfeet “Berry” Women’s Insoles
These orthotics were made specifically for a women’s foot shape. It offers intermediate support.
Superfeet Women’s Delux ¾ Length High Heel Insoles
Physical therapists would ever recommend wearing high heels, but if you must, this may be a good purchase!
Exercise Ball
We routinely use these balls for shoulder exercises and postural exercises. Most people can readily perform exercises leaning over the “55 CM” diameter ball. For those of us who are under 5’4” in height, a “45 CM” ball may fit better. For sitting on the ball to exercise, most people will find the “65 CM” ball sufficient.
BOSU Balance Trainer
This is a fantastic training tool with many, many uses. This can be used for standing balance, squatting, push-ups, and too many other exercises to mention here. Highly recommended for any home gym.
Body Blade CXT
We love this product for shoulder stabilization exercise. Please refer to our website videos for specific exercises that we have our patients perform.
Varidesk: High / Low Table
We have one of these in our office! This is the next best thing to having an entire desk that raises and lowers. This is worth the money.
Strassburg Sock
This product is used while sleeping to maintain normal tissue length on the bottom of the foot. Many people suffering from plantar fasciitis find this product to be very helpful.
Foam Rollers
We recommend both half and full cylinders for thoracic spine stretching and muscle massage. The 36-inch length is suitable to lie on.
Back Knobber
This product is great for self-massaging tender points and trigger points in the hard to reach areas of the back.
SI Belt (Medium 34-40 inches)
Recommended for patients who are “hyper-mobile” and have lower back pain.
M-Brace Knee Stabilizer Brace
This is one of the more stable knee braces available over the counter. This brace is great for hyper-extensible or otherwise unstable knees.
Swede-O Ankle Brace
For the chronic ankle sprainer this brace is a must. It is great for sports, hiking, and other high level activities. This brace is neither too bulky nor painful to wear.
Desk Chair, Hermann Miller “Mirra”
This is the best office chair on the market. Adjustable, sturdy, and comfortable.
Adjustable Keyboard Tray / Human Scale
This is a great adjustable keyboard tray that comes with a mouse pad stand.
Pinky Ball
We recommend this ball for pressure point releasing on the muscles of the shoulder blade and back. This ball has just the right amount of hardness.
“Even Up” Shoe Lift
This product is a must for patients who have to wear bulky immobilization boots on one foot. Using this shoe lift on the unaffected side provides a more even keeled alignment.
Gyrotonic Wrist Exerciser
We recommend this for a more intense forearm workout. Be patient with this product, it takes a bit of time to learn how to “get it started”.
Standing Mat
This is a great idea if you are working at a standing desk. This product provides a bit of cushioning and tread.
Memory Foam Knee Sleeping Pillow
For those of us who sleep side lying, this product helps to maintain hip and lower back alignment.

5 interchangeable fulcrums which allow for three levels of difficulty as a single plane rocker.
