And at less than $20 -- the Hand Roller is surely worth the money spent.
To use the TimTam Hand Roller Massage, athletes sit down with hands on each end of the roller, applying pressure with each roll down targeted muscle areas. Doing this helps compress the fascia for added flexibility and strength exertion, as well as breaks up lactic acids in the muscles following a tough workout. Not only will your athlete be less sore following a big game, meet, or tough practice, but their strength and performance will continue

#### Relaxing Hot Baths Taken Up a Notch
After a difficult workout or big game, sometimes what your athlete needs is a long, hot bath to relax their sore muscles. Take their recovery bath to the next level with [Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Relax & Relief Eucalyptus & Spearmint Soaking Solution](https://www.target.com/p/dr-teal-s-epsom-salt-relax-relief-eucalyptus-spearmint-soaking-solution-48oz/-/A-13417445?clkid=473db538N243be4758b58a3b29931d08c&lnm=81938&afid=Skimbit%20Ltd.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002). Available at big box stores, Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Relax & Relief Eucalyptus & Spearmint Soaking Solution helps revitalize sore, achy muscles. Not only do the muscle benefits of the epsom salt help your muscles stop aching, but taking some much-needed physical relaxation time in the bath can work wonders for your athlete.
The belief in how epsom salts work lies in the chemical compounds and their benefits to the human body. It is believed that epsom salts break down into magnesium and sulfate, which then on an individual level provide muscle-relieving benefits to your athlete’s body. Great for adults with arthritis and other musculoskeletal issues, Dr Teal's Epsom Salt Relax & Relief Eucalyptus & Spearmint Soaking Solution is an easy, affordable recovery tool that should be a staple in every household.
