BioFreeze Benefits in Massage Therapy

-

 



Biofreeze Pain Relief Gel is a popular topical analgesic used by massage therapists to enhance treatment outcomes—especially for clients dealing with pain, inflammation, or muscle fatigue.

 Key Benefits

1. Fast-Acting Pain Relief
Biofreeze contains menthol, which creates a cooling sensation that helps block pain signals. This provides quick, temporary relief for sore muscles and joints.

2. Reduces Inflammation
The cooling effect can help calm inflamed tissues, making it especially useful for:

  • Acute injuries
  • Post-workout soreness
  • Chronic conditions like arthritis

3. Enhances Muscle Relaxation
Applying Biofreeze before or during massage helps muscles relax more easily, allowing therapists to work deeper with less discomfort for the client.

4. Great for Trigger Point & Deep Tissue Work
Clients who are sensitive to deep pressure often tolerate it better when Biofreeze is used, making trigger point therapyand deep tissue massage more effective.

5. Non-Greasy & Absorbs Quickly
Unlike oils or lotions, Biofreeze doesn’t leave a heavy residue—so therapists can use it without compromising grip or technique.

6. Ideal for Specific Conditions
Helpful for:

  • Neck and shoulder tension
  • Lower back pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Overuse injuries like tendonitis

 Considerations

  • Avoid broken or irritated skin
  • Be cautious with heat (no heating pads immediately after)
  • Some clients may be sensitive to menthol—always ask first


At JMP, we incorporate modalities such as BioFreeze, hot stones, and steamed towels into our massages at no extra cost! We are open 7 days a week for massage therapy, private pilates instruction, and stretching.

Injury Prevention Reduces the risk of strains, tendonitis, and repetitive stress injuries in the wrists and elbows (e.g., tennis elbow, carpal tunnel).

It emphasizes precision, flow, and a structured system of exercises performed in a specific order. Here are the key fundamentals: Fundamentals of Classical Pilates 1.  The Six Principles Joseph Pilates outlined guiding principles that define the method: Concentration  – Full mental focus on each movement.

Flow  – Exercises transition smoothly, creating continuous movement. Precision  – Correct alignment and exact movement patterns matter more than repetition. Breath  – Coordinated, full breathing enhances efficiency and oxygen flow. 2.  The Powerhouse Core strength is the foundation of every exercise. The powerhouse includes the ...
