About this page

An independent buying desk for home recovery gear.

Written and edited by the Littleton PT Editorial Team. We pick fewer products, write shorter pieces, and tell you what to skip. 24 single-product reviews, 31 ranked roundups, and how-to walkthroughs.

Who we are

Littleton PT is a small editorial team that researches home physical therapy and recovery gear: foam rollers, massage guns, TENS units, compression socks, braces, tape, heat and ice. We work from manufacturer specifications and from what verified buyers report in their reviews, and we say which is which.

We are not clinicians. We do not diagnose, prescribe, or treat. For medical questions, see your physical therapist. For gear questions, you're in the right place.

How we pick

  1. Start from the listing. Current Amazon listing data: title, brand, specifications, and Amazon’s summary of buyer reviews. We compare against other products in the same category.
  2. Read the spec. Density, channel count, mmHg compression grade, warranty length, as the listing states them. We name the trade-offs.
  3. Write what we'd tell a friend. Including specific reasons to not buy. Every roundup picks a number one, and most name a product to skip.
  4. Disclaim early. Affiliate disclosure above the fold. Medical disclaimer on every product review.

What we won't do

  • No medical claims. We don't say "cures," "treats," "heals," "FDA-approved," "clinically proven," or "doctor-recommended."
  • No fake urgency. No countdown timers, no "Only 3 left," no exit-intent modals.
  • No "Top 10 You NEED" headlines. A ranking must rank. Neutral lists are slop.
  • No fictional experts. One team byline, no invented credentials, no stock-photo "DPT advisors."

How we make money

Amazon Associates (tag littletonphysicaltherapy-20) and a handful of direct affiliate programs with selected brands. When you click through and buy, we may earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you. We also display AdSense ads. Ad placement does not influence review content — period.
