Biofreeze

Pain can come in many different forms. When you come in for a massage, we often discuss the possibility of becoming sore afterwards. There are many different things to do to reduce the side effects of treatment. One of them is an application on Biofreeze. I have been using this product for a number of years, and while I have tried different products in the past, I find this one to be the most effective. What is Biofreeze? It is a type of cold therapy that can be applied directly on the skin. It comes in different forms, such as a gel, spray or a roll on (amounts others).

How does it work? When a painful stimulus is applied to the body, signals from the body are sent to brain which recognizes that sensation and makes the body react. For example, when you. put your hand on a hot stove (painful stimulus), a painful signal is sent to the brain and the brain responds by telling the arm to pull back to prevent more harm. In the Gait Control Theory, certain stimulus can over ride this pain sensation (like massage therapy, or a cold application). Biofreeze helps to block these signals to help reduce your pain temporarily. The cooling effects help not only to reduce the pain stimulation but also helps to reduce inflammation in the soft tissues which in turn helps to boost your recovery. With other cooling agents, Biofreeze has menthol in its products.

Are there any risks? As with everything else, there are some risks to using Biofreeze. It is seldom but I have seen some people have an allergic reaction to the product. In which case, just wiping the left over product off with a cool damp cloth to help reduce the irritation. Whenever I use Biofreeze or recommend it to someone, I always recommend not doing anything too strenuous afterwards. Like a pain-killer medication, your feedback will be compromised. So if you're doing something that your body is trying to signal you that it's in pain you won't notice, which could in turn cause more damage. Another caution would be to avoid using any heat application after putting it on. This can cause a reaction on the skin, making it more uncomfortable. I find this product very beneficial for a lot of people. So if a massage treatment causes some discomfort I will probably suggest putting some on to help your recovery.
