HEATING PAD ON BACK

Now this isn’t some new crazy discovery or invention, but for those of you that haven’t tried a heating pad, I would recommend you try one ASAP. 

I had never used heating pads before and one time my mother-in-law had one out so I decided to try it in bed and ever since then I use it almost every night. After a long day at work it really helps loosen up my muscles and just overall relax. 

Even if you don’t have back pain its just a great way to relax and unwind.

I also like that you can get these for relatively cheap and they’re easy to use anywhere. 

HYPERICE HYPERVOLT MASSAGE GUN 

I absolutely love the Hypervolt Massage Gun. It feels so amazing and if you’re looking for something a strong to help with muscle pain/soreness or knots this machine works wonders. 

Now with that being said this is definitely on the pricey side(> $200)

I know they have other brands that are cheaper, but I can’t really speak to their quality. 

Also another thing to consider is that if you don’t have someone to actually use the massage gun on you, its really hard to reach the back so you do kind of need a partner for this.

So usually after work my husband and I have to take turns doing it on each other. 

He does try to get longer times with it so I do have to set a timer so its fair 🙂 . . . 

FOAM ROLLER FOR BACK PAIN

This is another relatively cheap item that can make a huge difference. We have a large medicine ball as well as a foam roller that I sometimes use after work.

I literally just put the ball on my back and do a little backbend over it and just being able to do that stretch makes a big difference in my back stiffness.

The foam roller is also really nice on the back, but I personally prefer the medicine ball because I feel like I can get a bigger stretch. 

YOGA MAT FOR BACK PAIN

Now I know yoga may not be everyone cup of tea, but just doing some basic stretches on a yoga mat in the morning or at night can make a world of difference.

I know its not easy to always go to a yoga class, but this is something anyone can do in their living room there are lots of free video classes online.

I try to do a little yoga stretching at least once a week; I really should do it more often. And even just doing a 15-20 min session makes me feel a lot better after work. 

JACUZZI FOR BACK PAIN

I absolutely the jets on the jacuzzi or hot tub. I use it a couple times a week; however, I understand this might not be an option for everyone. 

Taking a hot bath can help loosen up those back muscles and overall help you relax.
