A couple of people asked which mat etc I use, so thought it might be useful to share for everyone who reads these messages.
Eye mask for sleeping – https://link.amazon/B032haOcx This is the updated version of mine, really good for a daytime power nap too.
Shakti mat – https://link.amazon/B0eDJ95EV I find, lying on the mat for 10-15 minutes each morning helps loosen my lower back first thing in the morning.
Heated eye mask – https://link.amazon/B052JzCBS The optician said I had dry eyes and using one of these for a few minutes in the morning would help. I fell out of the habit of the eye drops but stuck with this while on the mat.
We both use our cold bath regularly, Fran most days and me at least 3 times per week. I noticed when we had the standard version my joints still hurt between April and October because it wasn’t cold enough.
Our garden is soft facing and it was impossible to get it below 16C, so we invested in one with a chiller and set the temperature to 10C. It does go colder but we both feel the benefits at 10C so aim for that.
It’s quite an investment but we’ve had it for a couple of years now and it was definitely worth it. Here’s the new version of the set up we have – https://myomaster.com/collections/all-bundles/products/myoicepro-myochill?variant=57263598502265
