These are fabulous!!
Have you ever tried our balms specifically designed for spot work massage? They’re a great addition to your massage treatments, especially when focusing on specific areas of the body or dealing with areas of strain, injury or tension.
When it comes to spot work, we have two balms to choose from:
🔥 Our Warming and Easing Balm generates a soothing warmth and brings an extra element of heat to the massage. This can be of great help when distributing the build-up of lactic acid after a rigorous sports match, or when tight and knotty areas need extra warmth during the massage.
Active ingredients Arnica, Camphor, Black Pepper, Cajuput, Ginger and Capsicum are traditionally renowned for the relief of muscular stiffness and joint pain, and in the management of poor circulation.
Many therapists add Warming and Easing Balm when they require extra warmth during massage treatment. In some instances, it can be used on its own to massage into particular muscles for maximum heating effect. It is most effective when thoroughly rubbed into the muscle, and the warming sensation will be reduced on bony areas and connective tissue.
🧊 Our Cooling and Soothing Balm is designed for use on specific body areas and is ideal for use after a particularly strenuous game out on the sports field. While not intended as an all-over Massage Wax, it applies easily and is commonly used by professionals for deep tissue work and after strenuous activity.
Active ingredients Arnica, Hypericum (St John's Wort), Yarrow and Chamomile are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties, while Menthol provides a cooling sensation.
This balm has a much higher percentage of Arnica in it compared to our Massage Waxes. It is our premier product for sports injury work and is commonly used by Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Sports and Remedial Therapists, and sports men and women themselves, especially after a rough, bumpy and strenuous game. It has a very pleasant scent and is often used after marathons, rugby and football games, and sports in which repetitive movement and contact are common problems.
You may have noticed that these balms are also some of our most colourful products! The vivid colours are completely natural; the orange tone of Warming and Easing Balm comes from the Capsicum oil, while the striking blue of Cooling and Soothing Balm is thanks to the Yarrow oil. Due to the all-natural nature of our ingredients, the strength of colours can vary from batch to batch, but we think all shades of them are beautiful.
