Soothing ‘Cool Muscle Rub’: A Love Story of Pain Relief

The cool muscle rub is undeniably an outstanding recovery tool. Being a bit of a fitness freak, I’ve always loved the pumped up feeling from a good workout. Yet, as I get older, post-workout aches seem to cling a bit longer than usual: upper back, shoulders, hips, lower back, and hamstrings.

I also work from home often, and that means long hours of sitting at my desk, which also makes my muscles stiff. Stretching and moving throughout the day brings some relief, but it’s the cool rub that I really feel makes the difference. It honestly just makes life a little (lot) more comfortable for me. The soothing cool sensation is a welcome change as most rubs just provide heat, or nothing at all.

The cool muscle rub is a gentle, refreshing chill that gets down into my muscles. The light, minty aroma is far more pleasant than the overwhelming smells I’ve encountered with other rubs. Due to my interactions with children in my work, using those strongly-scented rubs wasn’t an option.

I have three jars of the cool rub stashed in strategic locations. One n my room for post-shower application, another in my car for those on-the-go instances, and a third on my desk for quick breaks during work.

My husband shares my appreciation for the cool muscle rub. Given our consistent workout routine, we frequently encounter muscle soreness. During those “Could you help get this knot out of my back?” moments, we turn to the rub. It makes a smoother, more effective massage and we are always in a battle to see who gets the nightly foot massage.

Unlike other lotions and rubs that I’ve used that either absorb too quickly or leave a greasy residue, this cool muscle rub strikes a perfect balance.

The impact of this Muscle Rub is something I can’t stress enough!
