Therabody WaveRoller
The recovery edit ranked percussion and compression; this is the modality underneath both, a foam roller with Therabody's vibration motor inside. Rolling is the entry-level recovery habit with the longest track record, and the vibration is the difference between doing it and abandoning it. Safety note: as with any roller, roll muscle, not spine or joints.
