Massage therapists now use this product in conjunction with traditional massage treatments. For clients suffering from muscle or joint pain, massage therapists use the cold therapy gel in place of traditional oils for a more effective pain relief treatment.

DOMS occurs when muscles that are not used to activity suddenly get used a whole lot. The muscles are overworked, and this causes tiny tears in the muscle fiber. These tears are extremely small, which is what makes DOMS a very mild form of muscle strain. The tears in the fibers are the cause of the soreness and stiff muscles the day after an intense workout. If you are experiencing some muscle stiffness, a Biofreeze massage can help soothe pain and keep the muscles from getting stiff again. (more…)
