Balmosa for muscular aches & pains
Muscular aches and pains can be triggered by all sorts of activities including playing your favourite sport, gardening or even fooling around with the grandchildren! Whatever the cause of your pain, you can rest assured that the warming effect of Balmosa cream will ease the aches and pains allowing you to continue with your day.
Even longer term rheumatic pains can be helped by using Balmosa cream and many people rely on it to help them get the most out of every day.
Sport Injuries
Sometimes doing what you love can result in a trip or fall that results in a strain or sprain. This can cause a lot of pain which is usually accompanied by swelling.
The widely used RICE technique has been designed to help you deal with the symptoms associated with strains and sprains:
- R — Rest is important when you've suffered a strain or sprain. Try not to do too much in the first few days following your accident
- I — Ice the affected area to combat any swelling that may occur. It's best that the ice doesn't touch the skin directly so place a towel over the affected area first. If you haven't got any ice in the house a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel can work just as well!
- C — Compress or bandage the affected are to help reduce swelling
- E — Elevate the affected area to a comfortable height help drain fluid away from the swollen area
Applying Balmosa to the affected area can also help relieve the pain associated with strains and sprains. Simply squeeze the cream onto the injured area and gently rub in allowing the warming effects of Balmosa to bring relief.
Back Pain
Back pain is one of the UK's biggest health problems. 7 out of 10 people suffer from lumbago (lower back pain) at some point in their lives. The pain can often be quite severe, but is not normally serious. Back pain has all sorts of causes and many are every day activities that take place at home or at work. Examples include:
- slouching in chairs
- sneezing
- muscle tension
- lifting, carrying or pushing incorrectly
Treating lower back pain
Normally lower back pain will improve on its own within a few weeks. GPs recommend that patients keep moving as this tends to help relieve symptoms.
Other tips include:
- doing exercises to improve your posture and strengthen your muscles
- applying a cold compress to reduce any inflammation
- use over the counter painkillers
Balmosa can help to relieve the pain associated with lower back pain. Just gently rub onto the affected area and feel the warming benefit of Balmosa.
Back pain that does not improve after a few weeks should always be checked by a doctor.
