Here are products that I personally use/recommend through our Amazon Affiliate store.
BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION (BFR) BANDS
Here is easy entry into Blood Flow Restriction Training which we covered previously in a blog (be sure to speak to us beforehand about this to make sure you are a good candidate).
Here is a cost effective foam roller for your rehabilitation exercises. We find that most folks do well with the 24″ option (the one we have in office is 36″ for reference)
Of course we had to include Dr. Marv’s patented neck fan look for you!
FORABEST PORTABLE FOOD WARMER (car or wall outlet)
This is the exact model Dr Marv has used for over 3 years and holds a surprisingly large amount of food.
These are amazing for quickly preparing vegetables, fish, etc. in your microwave in 1-2 minutes.
PLAYACTIVE SACROILIAC (SI) BELT
This can be helpful after a low back strain – ask your clinician if you would be a good candidate for this.
These can be super useful for rehabbing a variety of elbow conditions as well as improve grip strength for performance and longevity.
BOSS FITNESS DOOR ANCHOR (for resistance bands)
Easy way to anchor your bands at home and on the road to complete your rehabilitation or strengthening exercises.
Amazing and versatile piece of equipment that we use in office and recommend.
Sandbags are without a doubt one of the most underutilized implements in strength and fitness. This one can go up to 40 pounds and is the bag Dr. Marv personally uses.
Sandbags are without a doubt one of the most underutilized implements in strength and fitness.
This one can go up to 20 pounds and is the other bag we have in office.
ABMAT BARBELL BOMB (landmine anchor)
Easiest way to make your barbell a landmine similar to what we have setup in office – super versatile with a variety of whole body training options.
We find this helpful for folks with pain from bunions (do your exercises we gave you too!).
MUSICOZY SLEEP SHADE (w/ bluetooth headphones)
This is something Dr. Marv uses to dramatically improve sleep quality. He recommends listening to a pure delta wave binaural beat track which is associated with deeper stages of sleep.
Putting this on once sun goes down helps with falling asleep as the blue light spectrum from artificial light sources simulates sunlight which delays your body’s natural release of melatonin (essentially a sleep hormone in simplified terms).
As you will find out, Dr. Marv is a HUGE fan of massage guns – both for improved performance in the gym/field and pain reduction at home. This is the exact company he recommends and uses himself.
These can be super helpful with supporting your low back on long road trips – this is the support Dr. Marv personally uses.
Very helpful tool if dealing with tennis/golfer’s elbow – plus awesome for meathead biomechanics in the gym. Dr. Marv’s first set lasted him 3+ years!
This can be a very help tool while we treat and rehab your painful elbow. This offers adjustable tension that traditional braces do not.
As Dr. Marv likes to point out – if you refuse to use lifting straps you refuse to have your back and hamstrings as big and strong as possible! Also VERY helpful when dealing with tennis or golfer’s elbow in gym.
GYM REAPERS LEATHER LIFTING BELT
This is the properly shaped belt for MOST folks in the gym (outside of Olympic lifters). This can be very helpful to master the DNS-style bracing Dr. Marv will teach you in office.
This is a fantastic entry level box for home use – Dr. Marv uses red light therapy first thing in AM for 10 minutes to wake him up faster than a cup of coffee by setting his circadian rhythm.
Dr. Marv is a big believer in sauna (not cold plunges) – he swears that 8 minutes directly before bed has done more to improve his sleep quality than anything else in recent memory. The combo of sauna in PM & red light in AM has been a game changer and one he can’t recommend enough.
