Muscle soreness and joint stiffness can be a real source of frustration when they prevent you from exercising or hold you back in your day-to-day activities. That’s why we’ve developed a formula designed to aid sports recovery, support your comfort and allow you to stay focused on the activities you love. Quickly absorbed by the skin, the Recovery Balm is used to massage strained areas and provide a soothing sensation.
We offer recovery balms containing arnica and essential oils, which are often valued for their soothing properties.
The balm is also available with CBD, an ingredient that has been extensively studied, particularly for its benefits in promoting post-exercise comfort. [1]
CBD-infused sports recovery balms are now available in our Pro shop.
The balm is formulated with ingredients recognised for their moisturising and nourishing properties, which help to protect the skin: coconut oil and shea butter,
Why is Recovery Balm so effective?
You can apply it to the area of discomfort throughout the day, whenever you feel the need.
Direct application to the skin
Applying the recovery balm topically makes it easier to massage in and allows you to target specific areas, particularly after physical exertion.
Quickly targets the area of discomfort
Your tired muscles and strained joints — knees, ankles and shoulders — need relief; Recovery Balm can be applied directly to the affected area. It absorbs quickly and its active ingredients can help soothe feelings of discomfort.
Massage in for sports recovery and comfort for muscles and joints
You can massage the strained areas yourself, or take your recovery balm with you to your next professional massage session. You can ask for it to be mixed with the oils usually used to combine the benefits of massage and herbal ingredients on the targeted areas.
Massage can promote circulation in the area and help to release tension.
The ingredients in Recovery Balm have been chosen for their soothing properties, helping to support muscle and joint comfort and aid sports recovery.
It is made with a minimal number of ingredients, creating a simple, concentrated formula.
Its purity also makes it suitable for sensitive skin.
Coconut oil, shea butter or cocoa butter form the base of the balm. Known for their moisturising and protective properties, they leave the skin feeling soft and nourished.
Arnica is a traditional ingredient commonly used topically, particularly after exercise and as part of a massage routine.
Recovery Balm with CBD provides additional support through the combination of CBD and arnica.
Apricot oil is rich in vitamins A, C and E, as well as antioxidants, helping to support healthy skin.
The essential oils are selected for their relaxing and soothing properties.
How can arnica support sports recovery?
Arnica has long been used in massage and body-care routines, particularly after exercise. When applied topically, it is often chosen to help support a feeling of comfort, especially when the muscles and joints have been put under strain.
How can CBD support muscle and joint comfort after exercise?
CBD is a widely studied cannabinoid. Research has focused in particular on how it interacts with the endocannabinoid system, or ECS, which is involved in regulating many functions within the body, including some connected to inflammatory responses and the perception of discomfort.[2]
As part of a post-exercise massage routine, this combination may help the body feel more relaxed, particularly when experiencing muscle soreness or stiffness.
Shea butter and coconut oil also help to nourish and protect the skin.
How can CBD support persistent discomfort?
When applied topically, Recovery Balm is absorbed through the skin and may help soothe feelings of discomfort in a targeted area, particularly when dealing with everyday stiffness.
Some studies, including those based on user-reported experiences, suggest an association between CBD use and perceived improvements in certain symptoms among people experiencing joint pain.[3]
Responses to CBD can vary depending on the individual, how frequently it is used and the circumstances in which it is applied.
The other natural ingredients and essential oils in Recovery Balm complete the formula with ingredients traditionally used in massage to support muscle and joint comfort.
How to use Recovery Balm
Recovery Balm is easy to apply and can be used whenever needed. It can be used as part of a sports recovery routine or at any time of day when your muscles need support.
It leaves the skin feeling soft and creates an immediate sense of comfort and wellbeing as you massage it in.
We particularly recommend applying it to the muscles before or after exercise.
Recovery Balm can be applied across the body to soothe tired muscles and joints.
Simply apply it to the affected area and massage it in thoroughly.
“I have been using Recovery Balm for quite some time because I have problems in my lower legs, on both sides of my shins and often in my knee. I find that using a relatively small amount of balm and rubbing it in thoroughly gives me immediate relief. It is very effective and soothing. It makes my long walks much more manageable. Thank you so much.”
