1. A vibrating posture corrector that'll act as a reminder to lift yourself back up whenever you start slouching, easing tension in your shoulders and helping to prevent poor posture from becoming permanent (and thus, permanently painful).
2. Or a back brace that can shift your shoulders back and relieve tension with basically no effort on your part. The bonus? Your body could get used to the new position and straighten out your stance in around two weeks!
3. A muscle recovery bath soak made with magnesium flakes and essential oils. One home spa day with this and your stressed out shoulders are gonna consider it an essential part of your self care.
4. A neck hammock you can attach to your door and give your neck the solid stretch it needs, helping to release built-up knots in both your neck and shoulders.
5. A deep tissue massager for times when your shoulders hurt so much you shout "Shoot!" This thing is made for blasting away those nasty knots.
6. A hemp cream formulated to relieve pain from arthritis, muscle cramps, and joint pain, etc. with all the effort it takes to gently rub on a moisturizer.
7. A cervical support neck brace designed to decrease neck and shoulder pain by increasing your circulation — helping you *truly* keep your chin up, even when aches and pains have had you feeling down.
8. A massage ball that's gonna work far better than asking your partner to massage your knots out with their rather lackluster enthusiasm. This makes deep massages easier with someone else or on your own. Win win!
9. A TENS unit to provide electrical stimulation to your tight muscles that may help them to loosen up and hurt less. You may be ~shocked~ by how well this calms your muscles down.
10. A cult-favorite Penetrex pain relieving cream with over 20,000 five-star Amazon reviews that'll help reduce swelling, inflammation, aches, and more.
11. An acupressure mat and pillow for a daily pain relief regimen you can really ~stick~ with.
12. A shoulder relief pillow because sleeping on your side puts a ton of your body weight onto your shoulder, causing pressure that builds up and aches. This'll encourage proper sleep posture and finally give your body a break if your side sleeping has been a real weight on your shoulders.
13. A bottle of Tiger Balm neck and shoulder rub (with a vanishing scent formula) for people who need pain relief that's easy to keep close on-the-go.
14. A self-massager to get those hard-to-reach spots on your back and shoulders without having to seek out a masseuse.
15. A cervical neck "pillow" that'll provide ergonomic support, align your spine, and give you a much needed vertebrae massage simply by lying down.
16. An anti-inflammatory face and body oil for soothing your senses and making any massage go smoothly. This also helps clear up acne on your back. Sweeeet.
17. An electric shoulder heating pad — you may lose pain in your shoulders so fast while wearing this cape that you'll feel like an actual pain-relieving superhero.
18. A bath pillow – it's gonna give you something to rest on whenever back pain makes you wanna sit, chill, and soak.
19. A cooling gel so you can try to freeze pain in its tracks.
20. A car massager with multiple heat and massage settings for drivers who do ~knot~ handle the stress of traffic well.
21. And finally, an orthopedic memory foam pillow that'll lift your head up, putting your neck in its natural curve to help work away neck pain while you sleep!
