We’re only days away from Christmas. Although unorthodox, if you’re struggling for an idea of something to buy someone, and they happen to be in pain, here’s what you should buy them. Pain-relief for Christmas…or you could just treat yourself and set yourself for a pain-free 2024!
Our Physiotherapists have chosen their favourite top 3 products, that they recommend to their patients.
Our top 3 favourite products, as chosen by our Physios
Harrogate Organics Natural Repair Magnesium spray
Muscle and joint rubs don’t work do they? Or do they?
We’re really skeptical when we’re asked to try a new muscle or joint rub. We’ve tried a lot, and most don’t do anything at all. To our surprise, the Harrogate Organics Magnesium Spray actually works!
We’ve used it on people with neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, arthritis of the knee and a few other things, and almost everyone has said they feel a benefit. Some say it’s a significant improvement. Some say a smaller one. But most people feel better from using this.
We find it’s best for people with muscle and joint pains, particularly those who lead more sedentary lives or are over 60.
Nothing is guaranteed to work, but we consistently get great results from using this, and so we’re really happy to recommend it.
As an added bonus, it can help with sleep, restless legs, and it was actually designed to reduce anxiety. Basically, if you buy this for someone as a Christmas gift, they will think you’re weird, but will thank you later.
You can buy it on Amazon here so they can get it to you quickly
Massage Roller Ball
There are a lot of self-massage tools around. Again, some are great, some not so. But the better ones are often super expensive.
We absolutely love the massage roller ball, because it’s cheap, really easy to use, can be used anywhere, and you are in control of how hard you press.
It’s brilliant for anyone that gets a tight, achey neck from sitting at a desk for any length of time, and for people with tension headaches coming from the neck. A few minutes massage either side of the neck and on the top of the shoulders can make you feel amazing.
We believe everyone who sits at a desk should have one, and we’re a bit addicted to ours.
You can buy yours from Amazon here
The Turmeric Co Turmeric Shots
Turmeric is a hugely powerful natural anti-inflammatory. A growing number of studies have shown that it helps lower inflammatory markers in the body when taken regularly.
There are lots of Turmeric supplements available, but our favourite by a mile are the Turmeric Co shots. Why? Because they have a load of Turmeric in them…35g! Most supplements have a few grams of highly processed Turmeric which actually does very little. These shots are packed full of the stuff, and with their watermelon base, they are also a lot nicer, and effective than other alternatives.
In short, if things are generally a bit stiff and achey and you don’t want to be taking tablets, these shots could be a huge help to you.
All the science behind them can be found here on the Turmeric Co website . If you decide you want to try them, you can save 20% off your order by using our discount code TRUEPHYSIO20. Give them a try or order some for a friend!
