Massage

Massage products can be used both before and after physical activity, as well as for stiffness and muscle fatigue in everyday life. They are often used to increase circulation, soften tense muscles and support recovery between workouts.

Massage can help increase blood circulation and relax muscles, which can be experienced as relieving muscle pain. It can make muscles more mobile and reduce the feeling of stiffness, but is not a substitute for rest or adapted exercise.

Massage products can be used regularly based on need and tolerance. It is important to listen to your body's signals and avoid massaging areas that are severely inflamed, injured or painful without professional advice.

Liniment is a product applied to the skin to provide a warming or cooling sensation to muscles and joints. It is often used for stiffness, soreness, or as part of a warm-up and recovery routine. Liniment can provide temporary relief and increased comfort, but does not treat the underlying causes of pain.

Avoid using massage products in the event of fever, infection, skin infection, blood clot, fresh wounds, fractures, extensive bruising or suspected acute injury. Do not use the products directly over inflamed areas or severely swollen legs. In case of uncertainty, chronic illness or ongoing treatment, you should consult your healthcare provider first.

Choose comfortable positions such as side lying or semi-sitting and use gentle, calm movements with products such as massage balls or similar. Focus on areas such as the lower back, buttocks, legs and feet with light pressure. Avoid hard pressure over the abdomen and heavy techniques over the calves if there is swelling. Always use a pressure that feels comfortable and consult with your healthcare provider in case of pregnancy complications before starting new self-care routines.
