Is this good after workouts? I think maybe I can use it instead of ice pack for cold massage on sore muscles.

Definitely but it won't last as long as an ice pack nor can you mold it to cover the area you need icing. My doctor uses it after a treatment to help speed the healing.

I use it for muscle pains. Just rub some into the skin where the pain is. BOOM! Works great.

I know it's good for pain. I use it every time a joint hurts. I don't think it a long term fix. It's extremely good for muscle soreness.

I've used biofreeze in roll on and cream versions and they all provide that cooling menthol feel. I've never actually seen it advertised with reference with menthol.

Post. I personally don't use it, my best friend does. It won't hurt you to drink it before but it's best for after to feed your muscles.

Its like a gel pack - You put it into the freezer - It will freeze down the part of your back to were it gets numb so be care full I leave it on for 1/2 hour and wow nothing like itHavent used the warm part - You just stick the same Gel pack into the microwave Iam sure it will work as well as the coldThe pack has like 4 chambers its used either for heat or cold

I can only say that when I first used Biofreeze in small packets on my shoulder it worked great. I have used it on my back and knees and didn't quite get the same result. An acquaintance of mine uses it all of the time and thinks it wonderful. I don't know that the inactive ingredients are but I would try the crème if I were you.

I would be careful about this POLAR ICE PACK. They have a good product except for the ice packs. The ice packs do not stay frozen very long. I also have a ice pack that I bought from CVS and this stay frozen much longer.

I am uncertain as to what you want to accomplish. It will be very greasy if you use it after some type of moisturizer. It is meant to be used to help after an injury or after a physical therapy treatment.

My mother and I both have one. We use them for back pain all the time. I would recommend heat and ice rotation every 20 mins. I major back issue and that seems to help me the best. You can make the ice packs that don't freeze solid with 2/3 cup of water to 1/3 cup of rubbing alcohol in two zip lock bags one in side the other. Good Luck

It's not necessary, but I would recommend it. It makes u feel full for a longer period of time. And its great for post workouts. .

This device stimulates your muscles rather than manipulates them manually as a previous response states. I think this is a wonderful device. It is small and I can take it anywhere. This winter I am back to painless snow shoveling. Previously I would be in pain for weeks following a shoveling event. I move easier and no longer fear the pain which always makes it worse.

I have not tried it heated. I usually like the pack cold because I have back problems and this reduces inflammation. I am sorry I could not help, however, I think I will try it later on today and let you know how the pac is heated.

It has menthol. I would not call it numbing, but it does feel like ice on your skin. All I know is it takes the pain away very well and both my husband and I use it for sore muscles, arthritis, etc. and we love it!

It starts very cold from the freezer, and at 30 minutes it is still cold. My Physical Trainer says not to keep it on any longer than that, or it could cause an ice burn to your skin. You should wait at least two hours before using it again on the same area. It is not filled with gel, but I believe water, which when frozen lasts longer, and is colder.

Honestly, this particular brand is "okay," but a better thing to buy is "NOW" products, Arginine. I feel it right away and it makes it easier to work out! I hope this helps. I use 1500 miligrams before working out and another 1500 when I am done--it seems to relax me and there is less muscle tension.
