Your body is the tool
nobody services.
Recovery gear for tradies and shift workers. Chosen for people who finish the day sore, not for athletes chasing a personal best.
AUS Ships from Australian warehouses · 1–3 days
Every recovery brand in this country is talking to athletes.
One in ten Australian workers is a tradie. A quarter of them expect the job to end their career early, and musculoskeletal injury drives a third of serious workers' compensation claims. That is a lot of wrecked backs and shot knees.
What the market sells them is workwear and safety gear — kit that protects you during the job. Almost nothing addresses the body after it. The recovery aisle is aimed at marathon runners and people who own an ice bath.
This shop is the other thing. Same gear, chosen and explained for someone who was on their knees in a roof cavity since six.
The kit
A short, deliberate list. Not four thousand near-identical listings — the things that actually earn a spot on the board.
-
01
Trigger balls & peanuts
For getting into a knot between the shoulder blades or down a glute when nobody is around to do it for you. Against a wall, on the ute seat, wherever.
-
02
Rollers
Long ones for the back and quads, short ones that live behind the seat. The unglamorous five minutes that decides whether tomorrow morning is bearable.
-
03
Heat packs
Australian-made wheat and lupin packs. Microwave, sit down, stop moving for fifteen minutes. Some carry a genuine medical device listing — see below on why that matters.
-
04
Compression socks & sleeves
For the ones who stand on concrete all day. Legs that feel like they belong to someone else by knock-off time.
-
05
Stretch straps & mobility
Simple gear for hips and shoulders that have stopped going where you ask them. No subscription, no app, no coach shouting at you.
-
06
Slot free
Deliberately empty. We would rather leave a gap than pad the board with a fourth brand of the same thing. Tell us what belongs here.
Why we sound more careful than the other mob
In Australia it is against the law to advertise a therapeutic good that is not on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods. The regulator fines people real money for it — recent penalties have run into the tens of thousands.
Plenty of shops ignore this and tell you a massage gun will fix your back. We do not, for two reasons. It is illegal, and it is usually rubbish.
So the language here is deliberately plain. Where a product carries a genuine listing — several Australian-made heat packs do — we can tell you exactly what it is approved for, in the manufacturer's own approved words. Where it does not, we describe what the thing is and what it is for, and let you decide.
Product copy on this site is checked against the advertising rules before it goes live. It is an unusual thing to build. We think it is the difference between a shop and a landing page.
