**Eligible wellness expenses are determined by each individual employer.  Check your list of covered items in the myHSA app to find out what is eligible prior to incurring expenses.**

1. Upgrade Your Home Office Setup

Did you know you can claim ergonomic equipment? If you’re working from home, this perk is a game-changer. From standing desks to ergonomic chairs and even wrist supports, these investments can help reduce discomfort and improve productivity. Wellness isn’t just about working out—it’s about working comfortably too.

2. Relax with Wellness Subscriptions

Think beyond physical fitness. Some wellness spending accounts cover subscriptions to mindfulness apps like Headspace or Calm, or virtual fitness platforms like Peloton. These tools bring relaxation and activity right to your fingertips, wherever you are.

3. Explore Alternative Therapies

Acupuncture, naturopathy, and even some types of massage therapy might be eligible expenses. These therapies can help with stress, pain management, and overall balance. If you’ve been curious about trying alternative treatments, now’s your chance!

4. Invest in Nutritional Wellness

From consultations with a dietitian to cooking classes that focus on healthy eating, your spending account can support your journey to better nutrition. Imagine learning new skills in the kitchen while keeping your health on track—win-win!

5. Join a Recreational Sports League

Being active doesn’t have to mean solo workouts. Join a recreational sports team, sign up for a community yoga class, or try a rock climbing membership. Activities like these not only get you moving but also help you build social connections.
