I also use Traumitane after training to help me recover faster - I keep it in the fridge to get more benefit from the cold therapy, help with the inflammation and speed up my recovery. Using them both together has definitely helped me train harder and recover faster.

I have been using Percutane for about a month now. I put it on every morning before I get out of bed. It “wake ups” the nerves in my feet and legs, decreases the intensity of the pins and needles and makes the neuropathy pain much more bearable to live with.

“I've had lower back pain for the best part of 20+ years and after one of my tennis students went to New Zealand and brought back a tube of Percutane, the results have been extremely positive. I tell everyone about it!”
“I'm not going to say this is a great product as it's hard to get! It works great on my knee and my shoulders as I have torn tendons and get very sore especially in winter, a small amount goes a long way, but don't buy it coz it will be harder for me to get then!”
“My husband has been struggling with his golf - arthritis galore. Anyway, I got sick of him whinging about his knee pain and I told him to either use a little Percutane each day or to shut up! He has been applying it for the past four weeks and has now won three comps in his division! I think a reduction in pain really improves his concentration and therefore helps his performance. As I told him it is NOT a cure but it does give him at least a 65% reduction in pain levels. He is now a true believer! Great products - thanks for everything.”
“I injured my back while holidaying in NZ and the chemist suggested I try Percutane. This was such a help that by the end of the week I was able to be actively involved in driving and hiking without the extreme pain and muscle spasms. Thank you. Is it possible to purchase this in Australia or do I need to order online and what is the cost for sending it?”
“I have been purchasing Percutane for some time now. I am a Group Fitness Instructor and this cream is by far the best of its kind on the market! I have recommended it to so many of my members at the gym and we all think its wonderful! I recently went to purchase another tub from my local Chemist and was told this cram was now discontinued!!! I am sooo disappointed..I love it so much that I have tried desperately to source the product from the UK too. I look forward to hearing from you.”
“On a recent trip to NZ I used Percutane every evening to help with my fractured leg. The cream was great in helping to reduce the swelling and also relieving pain around the injury. I'm glad to say a few days later when I returned the wheelchair and had to get around on crutches, I felt much better. Many thanks for helping to make my stay in New Zealand so much more fulfilling. By the end of our stay I even managed to walk right up to the base of Fox Glacier!”
“My shoulder was severely injured playing football. Nothing really helped it. Percutane is the first product that has helped get it moving again and I can now sleep at night.”

“A friend let me use some Traumitane cream for my unbearable neck pain. I was very impressed with the rapid improvement and pain relief. Now I recommend it to all my bowling club friends”.
“Shoulder tendonitis leaves me in a lot of constant pain. I refrain from using pain meds as much as possible. After using Traumitane I wake up with far less pain and have more mobility with none of the placebo or side effects I got from other pain meds. Love the product and its all-natural ingredients!”
“I am a chiropractor and constantly recommend Traumitane. I've tried everything with my clients but nothing comes close to this cream for the acute pain”.
“We are addicted to Traumitane, its been a life changer. After 1 week my year old achilles tendonitis has gone completely, plus it also fixed my 12 year old sons growing pains. Thanks, its a great family product”.
“Last week when I was visiting the chemist looking for new pain relief I was shown your Traumitane Recovery Action which I decided to try. The fact that it was herbal also helped greatly in my choice. Unfortunately I am unable to take anti-inflammatories so every few years I need to go to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Rotorua for remedial treatment for severe osteo-arthritis in the spine, neck and shoulders. I have felt instant relief with your Traumitane ointment. I know it is not going to dissolve the crystals in my joints but it is enabling me to get out in my garden again (for which I am most grateful at 80 years). Thank you for this ointment”.
“As a sometime gout sufferer I have allopurinol prescribed daily. Two days ago I had a gout attack commence in my left big toe joint. I applied Traumitane immediately and today the redness has gone and much of the pain. In the past I have tried Ice Gel, Voltaren Osteo Gel, etc. Nothing comes close to the immediacy of Traumitane. ”.
“I would be grateful if you could advise me if you are still manufacturing Traumitane. I am 80 years old and suffer from both arthritis and fibromyalgia. Sometimes I wake in the night with my hands throbbing and the only relief I get is by using Traumitane on them. I am using another product at present but I do not find it helps in the same way”.
“I wanted to tell you how I started using Traumitane. I had a serious injury and was in terrible pain. I had been friends with a lady from NZ and she gave me half a tube to try on my pain. I was amazed at how this ointment worked so well. So I have been buying some for my family - they love it! I wish this product was available in Canada but I am very happy to be able to get it from you. Thanks so much for this miracle ointment”.
“Two weeks ago I bruised my Calcaneus bone by doing a jump while skiing. For two week I was limping around unable to put any weight on my heel, making it painful to be in ski boots everyday for work. I tried Tiger Balm and a couple of other products with no real improvements. When talking to Jason the other day, he gave me some Traumitane to try out. After the first night I noticed a massive improvement and now its a few days later and I can't believe the progress. I will definitely pass onto the other instructors. We are a broken bunch down here! Its an amazing product!”.
“I had an awful night last night with knee bursitis and as I cannot tolerate NSAIDs I whacked on some Traumitane. Oh, the relief. I will be ordering some this week and will tell Tim (the pharmacist) about it when I am next in his store”.
“Some time ago my wife had an accident and underwent an operation on her elbow. Occasional when the elbow hurts she uses your Traumitane Recovery Action product which gives her great relief. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a retail place where I can buy a new tube of the product. Are you able to direct me as to where to purchase please?
Many thanks in advance ”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Should I use Percutane or Traumitane?
-
Generally speaking you can think of Percutane as heat therapy for use on chronic (long term) issues relating to muscle aches and joint stiffness. Heat increases circulation to warm up and activate sore and aching muscles and joints to help get you moving.
Traumitine is ideal for use as a first response for injuries and acute inflammation. Think of it more like applying ice to an injury to reduce the effects of inflammation (swelling, redness and bruising) relieving discomfort and promoting faster recovery. -
Can I use both products on the same area?
-
Yes - Percutane and Traumitane can be used together by applying Percutane in the morning and then applying Traumitane in the afternoons and evenings. In this way, the creams work together to simulate hot and cold therapy, the benefits of which are well known to the medical community and high performance athletes.
-
Will a topical cream actually get through my skin to the underlying muscle, joint or tendon?
-
Topical creams are very effective at getting directly to the source of the issue as they can be applied directly to the site in question. Percutane and Traumitane have been specially formulated to penetrate quickly through the dermal layer to ensure the active ingredients are absorbed directly into the affected areas as opposed to sitting on the surface of the skin like many other topical products.
-
What should I do if I find the Percutane heat too hot?
-
The superhero ingredient of Percutane is Capsaicin which is a derivative of hot chillies. Different people react in different ways to chili heat in their food and the same is true of topical absorption. If you find the Percutane heat too warm for you, apply milk to the area with a paper towel. In the same way that drinking a glass of milk reduces the burn in your mouth from a hot curry, the protein in milk (casein) breaks down the capsaicin molecules to reduce the heat on your skin.
-
Can I use these creams on broken skin or on sensitive areas?
-
Neither Percutane or Traumitane should be used on abrasions, cuts, broken, inflamed or sensitive skin or sensitive areas such as eyes, lips, and genital areas. Make sure you wash your hands well after application with soap and water to avoid accidentally transferring Percutane to any sensitive areas.
-
Who should use our topical relief creams?
-
Because our topical formulations are powerful, we do not recommend using them on children younger than 6 years.
-
Does it feel greasy on my skin?
-
Not at all. You will not feel any greasy residue after these creams have been applied and rubbed in. Percutane and Traumitane have been specially formulated to penetrate quickly through the dermal layer to ensure the active ingredients are absorbed directly into the affected areas as opposed to sitting on the surface of the skin like many other topical products.
-
Can I purchase these creams in stores?
-
In New Zealand and Australia our products are distributed to all good pharmacies - ask for them by name if you can't find them on the shelves.
In all other countries you can order online through our website www.painzorb.co.nz
