Chemotherapy
My Toolbox
A personal breakdown of the tools I use during chemotherapy to manage neck and back pain, foot neuropathy, circulation issues, and muscle tension. No affiliate links. Just what helps me get through treatment.

Neck & Back Massager


This massager helps manage persistent neck, upper back, and paraspinal tightness. These are areas where chemotherapy often amplifies inflammation and muscle guarding.

The standout feature is the adjustable roller design. I can reposition the rollers to target precise trigger points along the neck, between the shoulder blades, or alongside the spine, then control pressure through leverage rather than brute force. That level of control makes it suitable for daily use without overstimulating already irritated muscles or sensitive nerves.

A special Thank You to the Jenn Burger family for buying this for me during chemo season 1.

Foot & Calf Massager


This foot and calf massager helps me manage some of the most stubborn side effects of chemotherapy, especially lower-limb discomfort from poor circulation, muscle tension, and nerve irritation.

Chemo disrupted my peripheral circulation and irritated sensory nerves, which shows up as neuropathy in my feet and calves. Using controlled, rhythmic massage increases local blood flow, helps relax guarded muscles, and provides steady sensory input that can temporarily quiet nerve hypersensitivity. The compression also supports venous return, which helps reduce swelling, heaviness, and end-of-day leg fatigue.

And it just feels good. Soren and Tina use it as well.
