Gear / Equipment Recommendations
Lots of people ask me about the gear that I use, so here are some of the different types of equipment and tools that I use and/or recommend.
Note* these are Amazon Affiliate Links; Buying through these links helps me out but doesn’t cost you any extra.
Sporox II
CDC Compliant High-Level Disinfectant for cups and Gua Sha / IASTM tools.
Sporox Test Kit
Test kit allows you to extend the life of Sporox II past 21 days by ensuring it is still effective.
Lotion Warmer:
Trueglow Lotion Warmer by Conair – a lotion warmer/pump that can pump oil, lotion or even most creams. It only heats what is in the head of the pump so it doesn’t waste a ton of energy and warms up in just a minute or so.
Silicone Cupping Sets:
These “double bubble” style silicone cups are my favorite type. Easy to clean/sanitize, non-porous, and really quite affordable. I have used all of these brands and find them to be functionally identical.
Elera Cup Set [7 Piece]
Elera XL Cup Pair [2 Piece]
Syhood Cup Set [16 Piece]
QISEEYA Cup Set [6 Piece – Cheapest]
Gua Sha [IASTM] Tools
I prefer stainless steel over all other materials due to it’s ease of cleaning/sanitizing. Prices on these have come way down making them practical for most practitioners.

Table Warmer:

Jade Hot Stones:
Jade is a non-porous stone so it is easier/safer to clean these compared to the usual basalt ones.
Electric Lift Massage Tables:
The best lift table is the one you can afford/buy. Get a lift table ASAP.
Earlthlite Ellora Lift Table [The Table I use – also sold under Stronglite brandname]
Cheapest Lift Massage Table -Saloniture [Better to have a cheap lift table than no lift table]
Stronglite Massage Chair
Not the cheapest massage chair, but rock solid, and very adjustable.
