Muscle recovery and relaxing creams and gels

WHAT ARE RECOVERY MUSCLE GELS AND CREAMS?

The muscle recovery gels and creams act by providing freshness and avoiding the feeling of heaviness that occurs in areas exercised with greater intensity after a workout. It exerts a calming and anti-inflammatory function of muscles and joints, facilitating their recovery. In addition, they usually contain certain components that hydrate and nourish our skin. They can be applied before, during or after a physical activity that does not necessarily have to be sports.

WHAT TYPES OF RECOVERY AND RELAXING GELS ARE THERE?

COLD EFFECT MUSCLE CREAM

These muscle recovery gels and creams are more appropriate to use right after training, or to treat muscle pain caused by sprains and inflammation of joints and ligaments. These creams reduce the temperature of the area where they are applied in order to reduce pain and inflammation after physical activity. By relieving this muscular pain, relaxation is achieved in the area that has been subjected to effort.

These creams are easy to apply and are absorbed into our skin quickly, so it does not cause irritation or itching in the area.

CREAMS FOR MUSCLE RECOVERY

These creams reduce the deterioration of our muscles and allow rapid recovery of muscle fibers. They are ideal to avoid shoelaces and in case of sprains or muscular overloads. They have been exclusively developed to recover the muscles and restore the freshness and well-being of the muscles by acting as muscle relaxants.

HOT-COLD MUSCLE ACTIVATOR GEL

A muscle activating gel with a hot-cold effect is used to promote circulation and with it a more effective recovery after exercise. They are usually used for maintenance massages or general pain treatments. Massages with these activating gels reduce the risk of long-term injury.

NIGHT RECOVERY

They are applied at night with the aim of getting up the next day with an almost 100% recovery so that there is no problem for us to return to training, neither at performance levels nor at levels of possible injuries or damage.

This is thanks to the fact that it contains a mixture of the best proteins that contribute to muscle growth and muscle repair. In addition, they also usually contain magnesium that helps us fight tiredness and fatigue.

WHEN SHOULD YOU APPLY RECOVERY MUSCLE CREAMS?

• The cold effect muscle gel should be used after exercise. If you use it to relieve pain such as a sprain, you should apply the muscle cream at any time of the day, and you can accompany it with the application of ice to achieve a greater effect.
• Activating muscle gel, or hot-cold effect muscle gel, should be applied after exercise. If you use it to treat an injury or certain pain, you can apply it at any time of the day.
• The night recovery gel should be applied before going to sleep, so that it takes effect on our muscles throughout the night while they are resting.

HOW TO APPLY THE MUSCLE CREAMS?

The muscle cream must be applied to clean skin with a light massage until completely absorbed. However, we must take a number of things into account so that its effect is optimal:

• They should be applied right after training or in the hours following the appearance of muscle discomfort. This will be key for them to fulfill their function in the best possible way, since if they manage to relieve the pain at the moment it appears, the recovery will be much faster and easier.
• The number of times that we must apply the cream depends on the type of injury or damage that has occurred in our muscles. For example, if we sprain an ankle due to poor support, the gel or cream will have to be applied for a few hours, however, if it is an injury with a certain degree of inflammation, the ideal is to apply a cream or gel for 48 or 72 hours after the disturbance.
• The mode of application consists of using the cream on our fingers first, then keeping the fingers flat and pressing gently, make circular movements from the source of pain outwards.
• This should be repeated until the product has been completely absorbed. In the same way, it must be avoided that remains of the product remain in the affected area. The ideal is to distribute it evenly.
