Shoe recommendation:

Xero Shoes

Minimalist shoes may!be the things missing from your healthy lifestyle! They encourage more natural foot movement, strengthen foot muscles, improve balance and posture, and promote a more natural gait, all while allowing you to feel the ground better. They have gotten a bad rep in the past for being silly looking or weird but they have come a long way!

While there are many minimalist shoe brands on the market we often recommend Xero shoes for their quality and the variety of styles they provide! Click the link below to check them out or if you are looking to buy shoes that generally should help your back and feet feel better!

Pillow Recommendation:

THE SUPPORTLAND PILLOW

There are a lot of pillows on the market that claim to help solve everything from neck pain, to headaches and it can be a bit overwhelming! While I cannot speak to all the pillows out there, I can say that I have consumer tested at least 10 different promising pillows of the past handful of years and ultimately this is the pillow I have landed on. In the past there have been some pillows that had very orthopedic shape but no enough density or support. I have tried pillows that are really supportive but were very fickle and only worked if you used them in just the right way. Ultimately I think I have found a great all arounder that is not forgiving when you use it and is a great combination of design and quality of materials! Not to mention a reasonable price ($60). If you are interested in learning more about this pillow or buying one simply let one of our doctors know!
