Dr. Cateβs Favorite Tools for Feeling Your Best at Home
Here are a few of my favorite tools I use and recommend to help you feel your best at home. These are easy, effective, and support the care youβre receiving in the office.
Sleep & Pillows
- Adjustable Pillow
A properly fitted pillow can make all the difference for neck and shoulder comfort.

Pain Relief Tools
- TENS Unit
Gentle electrical stimulation can calm overactive muscles and reduce pain between visits.

- Massage Gun
Deep Tissue Massage gun with a few speeds to help soothe and release tense muscles. Bonus – Use the ball on the side for more of a fascial release technique that feels less intense!
π https://amzn.to/4qGRG91 - Gua Sha Tool + Arnica Oil
Perfect for gentle self-massage or breaking up tight fascia at home. Arnica oil adds soothing anti-inflammatory support. I use it on my neck and shoulder muscles regularly.
