As summer ramps up, so do our activities like gardening, walking, hiking, traveling, and soaking in all the sunshine we can get. But with more movement and outdoor fun often come the aches, pains, and flare-ups we thought we left behind in the colder months.
At FYZICAL-Forest Grove, we specialize in helping people feel strong, balanced, and pain-free year-round. Whether you’re managing orthopedic issues, pelvic health challenges, or dizziness and unsteadiness, the right tools can make a big difference, not just in recovery, but in prevention, too.
Here’s a look at our top-selling clinic products and our favorite summer picks to keep you moving and feeling good all season long:
Top 5 FYZICAL Favorites
- McKenzie Lumbar/Sacral Roll:
A longtime favorite for folks with lower back pain, this supportive roll is perfect for long car rides, office chairs, or even lounging on the patio. It helps keep your spine in alignment and reduces slouching—something we all tend to do more in summer chairs! - CBD Salve – Citrus Scent
This top-selling salve is a go-to for soothing sore muscles and joints after yard work or a long hike. It’s a summertime staple for active bodies. - TheraBands
These versatile resistance bands are ideal for keeping up with rehab exercises or building strength at home or on vacation. Lightweight and portable, they’re perfect for tossing into your beach bag or suitcase. - Single Point Canes
Affordable and easy to pick up right in our clinic, single point canes offer stability when you need a little extra support, especially for those recovering from surgery or managing imbalance issues on uneven terrain at summer picnics or while on vacation. - SI Belts
Pelvic instability doesn’t take a break for summer. In fact all that yard work and gardening can be extra challenging with SI pain. We offer SI belts fitted in the clinic to support the sacroiliac region, reduce pain, and help you move more comfortably all day long.
