I've been relying on what I like to call "the doorframe method" to relieve muscle soreness. You know, when you use the corner of an entryway to target that knot that won't quit?

Is it cost-effective? Yes — that's its main attraction. Does it reach all of my problem areas? Not even close.

The reality of the situation is that the more I work from the couch and work out without warming up, cooling down, or stretching (I suggest not following my lead!), the less the doorframe method actually works.

So, I'm making room in my budget for a cost-effective solution to my muscle aches and tight joints — and Amazon is helping big time. Ahead, you'll find the recovery tools for under $20 I'm shopping to upgrade my home treatment methods.
