Massage Therapy Uses

Most external analgesics are traditionally formulated with methyl salicylate, and more recently with capsaicin or other salicylates. Most act as "counter-irritants" which, when applied on the spot where it hurts, stimulate the cutaneous sensory receptors causing an inflammation or irritation of the skin. This hot, sometimes painful, burning sensation temporarily counters the original pain. Side effects of these "counter irritants" can be redness of the skin, blisters, or even burns when over used or improperly used.

KOOL 'N FIT® , on the other hand, depresses the cutaneous sensory receptors, penetrates the nerve endings in the skin, and causes a temporary, reversible change in the nerve membrane. This action blocks the transmittal of pain and thereby provides an effective pain relief without inflammation or irritation of the skin. Some of the KOOL 'N FIT® ingredients have anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, and anti-septic properties. By also stimulating blood circulation, relaxing tight muscles, and its cooling function, KOOL 'N FIT® invigorates, soothes and creates a feeling of well-being.

Before Massage

• Enhance your deep tissue massage therapy by applying KOOL 'N FIT® on specific "trouble" areas (i.e. legs of cyclists).
  
• To activate its effects and to penetrate, wait until skin is dry again.
  
• Apply your massage oil/lotion to begin your deep tissue therapy.
  
• Effects: Relaxes muscles; increases circulation; allows pain free deep tissue work. You can work deeper and break up adhesions easier. Very beneficial in myofacial malfunctions.

After Massage

• Enhance the therapy work you just finished by applying KOOL 'N FIT® again to those areas.
  
• Your patients will appreciate the extra care you give.
  
• Effects: Relaxes muscles for hours; prevents therapy soreness; invigorates and makes your patients feel good.

Pre-Event Sport Massage

• Use KOOL 'N FIT® before sports exclusively. Lotions and most massage oils will clog pores, inhibiting the sweating process.
  
• Using KOOL 'N FIT® in pre-event sports massage will help eliminate the risk of cramps and lower performance.
  
• Effects: Better warm up and stretching. Circulation is increased, tight muscles are relaxed. Lower injury risk, better performance.

Post-Event Sport Massage

• Use KOOL 'N FIT® as described in pre-event massage to help speed up the recovery.
  
• Effects: Better cool down, faster recovery. Generates feeling of well being, revitalizes and relieves minor aches and pains. Prevents next day muscle soreness and stiffness.
