Move Freely: Tools & Resources

Exercise and Hiking:

These are the best hiking boots I’ve ever owned…and many of my clients agree! They don’t take any time for me to break in. I just take them out of the box and start hiking, regardless of terrain. (If you’re buying for the first time and prefer to break them in, I recommend wearing them for an hour around your house, take them off for an hour to see how your feet respond, and gradually increase the time.) I love that they are waterproof hiking boots. Stepping briefly through puddles, the water runs right off. Being submerged for a long period of time, they will get wet all the way through. They are offered in European sizes, so wide is an option.

Thermos 2465SSB6 Hydration Bottle, 18 Ounce, Slate Blue

We’ve all heard how important water intake is. I love this water bottle, for hiking and for taking with me in the car. I have tried many, many water bottles. It was hard to find one that would fit in my cupholder, and even more difficult to find one that doesn’t leak.

KT Tape, Original Cotton, Elastic Kinesiology Athletic Tape, 20 Count, 10" Precut Strips Beige Beige

Sometimes right after an injury, your doctor might recommend that you wear a brace. Another option, which you can ask your doctor about, is wearing kinesiology tape. This tape is designed to improve circulation so that waste products are flushed out and healing fluids can circulate more efficiently. It also affects the muscles, and thus the joints. I recommend you seek professional guidance for application of the tape. Many athletic trainers, chiropractors, massage therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, etc., can help you apply the tape and teach you how to apply it yourself.
