Oh, I've got a host of therapy accoutrements - including a big ball I use to stretch my back,
a rubber ball on a stick I use to "mobilize" my ribs, a theraband, a tubey thing, a foam column to roll my spine around.
And 2 molded arms splints I wear at night so I don't bend my elbows. Very sexy if you're into a medical fetish.
