Best way to recover fully before meets or test days?

I have a test day coming up on Sunday and will be treating it as a mock meet (my meet is 23 July). My knees and lower back feel a bit beat up still. My program gives me about a week of deload sessions before testing so I’m good with that, but I’m wondering what I can do to help my knees and back.

Any suggestions?
