Recommended by Dr. Cohen

The short list.
Stuff worth owning.

Your body heals as a triad: structural, chemical, psychosocial. We handle a lot of the structural piece in the room. These items support that structural work between visits: the supplements you take, the furniture you sit and sleep on, the shoes you wear, the bag you carry, the tools you use for rehab and exercise.

Supplements

Details over hype.Basics before buzz.

Magnesium, creatine, adaptogens, peptides: the studies behind them used specific forms, specific doses, and often specific partner ingredients.

Every recommendation in our dispensary is chosen by Dr. Cohen because it aligns with what the evidence actually showed. No fairy-dusting of the miracle du jour.

Start with a short list: pain; seasons; sleep, energy, and stress; training and recovery; or what Dr. C and Heather take daily.

Chair & mattress

Where you spend
your hours.

A third of your life on a mattress. Most of the rest in a chair. Get those two right and everything we do in the room holds longer.

Office chair

Anthros

The chair Dr. Cohen uses daily. The design came out of wheelchair seating research, and the dual back supports your pelvis and upper spine independently. If your job is sitting, your chair is part of your treatment plan.

Want it dialed in to your desk? Ask about an ergonomic evaluation. If you're not ready for an Anthros, our two favorite alternatives are in the Sit Better list on our Amazon storefront. More on choosing a chair.

Mattress

Saatva

The mattress we recommend. Eight hours a night, every night: it's the longest your spine spends in any one position. It should be helping.

Posture & mechanics

Stand taller. Move better.
Hurt less.

Good posture looks better. It also keeps small imbalances from turning into real pain. These three train your body into better patterns, so the work carries into the rest of your life.

Posture shirt

Intelliskin

When posture bras went viral, a wave of cheap knockoffs followed. Most of them hold you in position. That feels like help, but your muscles never learn the better position. This one only cues you: slouching just gets less comfortable, so your own muscles do the work.

Spine trainer

The Back Bridge

Dr. Cohen calls it Invisalign for your spine. Steady, gradual pressure stretches the muscle lines along the front of your body, the ones that pull you into a hunch, so your spine stays flexible.

Shop the Back Bridge

Foot trainer

Toe Pro

Built on running biomechanics; we use it in the office a few days a week. It trains balance and stability from the feet up, so every step is more efficient and less impact travels up to your knees, hips, and back. Less pain.

Between visits

The gear that
keeps the work holding.

Shoes, backpacks, rehab and workout equipment, seating, sleep, and seasonal support, all on our Amazon storefront. The one to start with: Dr. C's Holy Grails for Rehab, the gear he relied on for his own recovery after a mountain biking accident, a ravine, and a mother bear. The full story.
