✨The Well Spine Holiday Gift Guide✨

It’s here! The holidays are here! And we hope we can help take a little stress away from your gift-giving with some stellar recommendations. Many of our favorites are focused on daily ergonomics, infant motor development, support for a new family (family-focused items), and a ‘just for FUN’ section! We hope you’ll enjoy it!

Stocking Stuffers

1. Toe Spacers: Great for relaxing tense muscles, aiding in proper alignment and restoring the natural shape of toes and feet.

2. Lacrosse Ball: For more than just lacrosse! Lacrosse balls are perfect for rolling out tense muscles and knots to increase mobility and decrease pain points.

3. Owala Water Bottle: An office favorite — we love this bottle because it keeps drinks cold for 24 hours, the push-to-open lid keeps the spout concealed from germs/sneezes/allergens during cold/flu season and this bottle is BPA and phthalate-free!

4. LMNT or Skratch Electrolytes: Well Spine approved and sold in office — LMNT is our go-to-brand for clean electrolytes because they are packed with sodium, magnesium and potassium. No sugar, no gluten, no dodgy ingredients! SKRATCH is Boulder based electrolyte crew & clean, but sugar based.

5. Biofreeze: Also sold in office, Biofreeze offers natural, cooling relief for muscle soreness.

6. Young Living Essential Oils: Essential oils can help you naturally unwind by promoting relaxation, improving sleep and calming the nervous system. We love Young Living because of their clean promise: no formaldehyde, artificial dyes, petroleum, mineral oil, sulfates or parabens. Available for order in-office!
