PT Products
Physio Balls
Physio balls are a versatile tool for strengthening, stretching, and dynamic balance. They can be used in a variety of different ways to develop core strength, range of motion, and proprioception.
We recommend the 65cm or 75cm sizes
Foam Roller
Foam rollers provide gentle massage / myofascial release. Rolling out helps release tension, break up fascia, and improve mobility. Foam rollers can also be used to increase core strength and proprioception.
We recommend the full roller (3' long, 6" diameter) and 1/2 roller (3' long, flat lengthwise on one side)
Stretch-eze
The Stretch-eze® was developed by former dancer, dance/movement therapist, and Pilates instructor Kimberly Dye. It is a circular resistance band used for support and resistance in core strengthening and stretching programs.
Video and more information on the Dyenamic Movement Website.
GoFit Ankle Weights
Adjustable ankle weights with padded straps. Excellent for progressive strength exercises. Weight range is 1/2 lb to 5 lbs for each ankle.
Sacro Wedgy®
The Sacro Wedgy® is a device that isolates and elevates the sacrum (tail-bone) and uses gravity to help relax, align, and re-balance your pelvis.
note: Sacro Wedgy is male/female specific to accommodate differently shaped pelvises
*Please make sure to train how to use the Sacro Wedgy® with Deena or another practitioner before using it on your own.
Still Point Inducer
By applying gentle pressure to the base of your head, you can create a pause in the rhythm of the craniosacral system. These still points increase the movement of fluid through your system, which can remove tissue tension and improves your body's ability to relieve pain and stress naturally.
Simply lying in a relaxed position on the Still Point Inducer for 10 to 20 minutes a day can bring about comforting results:
* Helps relieve headaches
* Eases chronic musculoskeletal pain
* Enhances immune system efficiency
* Facilitates your body's self-correcting abilities
* Provides deep relaxation and helps reduce stress
* Promotes an overall sense of well-being
Cordless Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager with Heat
We often recommend this massager to support your progress and continue to release tension between sessions.
Fusion Massage Gun
This portable deep tissue percussion massage gun helps release small specific points and larger muscle groups.
Ergonomic Equipment
Aston-patterning wedge pillow
Our go-to ergonomic pillow works great in car seats or any seat that slopes backward putting compression on the spine. A wedge cushion brings your body into a more neutral position while sitting.
Aston Kinetics offers a few versions of a wedge pillow, we recommend the beveled "standard seat wedge"
Berlman Ergo High Back Chair
Adjustable armrest, lumbar support, headrest, and swivel.
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Full size keyboard and ergonomic mouse for computer desktops and laptops.
Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier
The Coway Tower air purifier is designed specifically for a living room, apartments, and mid-sized spaces using advanced multi-stage filtration with a long-life HEPA filter.
We recommend this efficient unit (or something similar) for home use to create a safer, healthy space for sleep, exercise, and daily activities.
Practitioners
Deena works closely with other practitioners in the Bay Area and often refers clients to them as well.
Hana has nearly 30 years experience and certificates in Swedish, Sports, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy massage, Reflexology, Trigger Point and Hospice massage among others. She says, “Neither my years nor my many trainings make me an expert in you. You know what feels good to your own body. We work together to get you the best massage possible, every time. Up to 4-hour long massages because you deserve to feel that good. What would make a massage great for you? Let me know.”

Holistic Hyperbarics
Mild hyperbaric oxygen therapy (mHBOT) is a method of delivering ambient air under pressure. The pressurization allows for greater oxygen absorption in the body. Elevated oxygen levels help improve circulation and cell growth and regeneration relieving symptoms like muscle fatigue and promoting more rapid recovery and healing.
