At 5kind we supply our massage gels and creams to help people get the most out of exercise and speed up recovery times. Our 5kind Extra Strong Hemp Cream might not be the new treadmill they’ve got on their wishlist or the running shoes they’ve been saving up for, but we know it will be something they’ll find useful and be grateful for.

Pre and post exercise massage

Whether they’re an amateur athlete or a once-in-a-while gym goer, anything they can do to improve their conditioning and performance or aid recovery is going to be beneficial to their overall enjoyment.

Massaging before a workout can help to warm up the muscles, improve flexibility and reduce the risk of injury. It can also help to alleviate tension, stress and anxiety to enable you to get the most from your exercise routine.

Having a post-workout massage helps to reduce muscle soreness, reduce inflammation and speed up recovery times. To get the most from it, you should massage the muscles as soon as you can after exercise, as this helps to ward off the soreness that will start to creep in once you stop working out.

5knd Extra Strong Hemp Cream is ideal for pre and post exercise massage because:

• It contains hemp oil which has powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
• It has arnica gel to ease bruising.
• It has turmeric which helps support the body’s natural recovery process.
• It contains eucalyptus oil which revitalises tired muscles and helps you to feel relaxed.
• It contains wintergreen oil which restores tender muscles soothes discomfort in the joints.
• It helps stimulate circulation thanks to the inclusion of caffeine.
• It has natural skin conditioners and leaves the skin feeling moisturised.
