After a workout it is important you take the time to help your body recover. A proper recovery routine provides many benefits, including:
- Removing waste products, such as lactic acid, from the muscles and preventing cramp
- Reducing muscles soreness and stiffness
- Preventing blood pooling and recirculating blood back to the heart, muscles, and brain
- Preparing the body to for the next workout, whether that be the next day or in a week
Massaging muscles after exercise should form part of your recovery routine. It helps aid recovery and can be useful for protecting against injury, as massage relaxes tense muscles and reduces minor scar tissue between the muscles and the fascia.
Traumitane is ideal for application after sport or strenuous exercise, the high strength arnica and menthol combine to provide the rapid cooling of an ice pack, with glucosamine to support the body’s natural repair of joints and cartilage. Massaging Traumitane liberally into muscles after your shower will also improve circulation and help flush out the by-products of robust exercise.
