Bounce Back Muscle Balm

A muscle rub is a cream, balm or salve you massage into sore or tired muscles to help them relax and recover. Most contain synthetic ingredients that are warming, cooling or soothing ingredients that boost circulation and calm inflammation. Ours is a massive upgrade: no harsh chemicals, just all-natural goodness that tells stiff muscles to chill out so you can get moving again.

Any time your muscles need a bit of TLC - before training sessions to ease achy muscles back into action, or after training to reduce that waddle and general soreness. It's great for for all kinds of activities, from long runs to tough gym sessions, hikes, or even just a long day on your feet.

Yes! Muscle rubs don’t magically erase soreness, but they do help with lymphatic drainage (your body’s natural way of flushing out waste and reducing fluid build-up after exercise), increase blood flow, ease tension and soothe discomfort so you recover quicker. Our natural formula also calms inflammation - so you feel looser, less stiff and ready to go again, sooner.

No way. Despite the name, it’s for your whole body - calves, thighs, back, shoulders, wherever you’re aching. (Though your feet will love it too.)

This is very different to other synthetic balms. There is a mild warming sensation, but the mechanism for action is very different as it literally numbs the nerves under your skin -  meaning you just feel less - which is kind of the point. People refer to it as a ‘muscle bounce back’ and report being able to get back to training more quickly and comfortably.

A nice smelling changing room, maybe! Our muscle rub has a fresh, clean scent from its natural ingredients - so it won’t knock people out at the gym.

We keep it natural, skin-friendly and filler-free. Many high-street rubs rely on synthetic chemicals - ours uses nature’s own recovery toolkit. Plus Bounce Back works to actually numb the nerve endings, so you simply feel less discomfort!

Yes. Our all-natural muscle rub is designed to be effective but gentle, without the sting or irritation some synthetic rubs can cause.

Absolutely. Use it whenever you need muscle relief - whether that's daily, or just when your training load spikes.

Depends on how often you use it, but typically around a month with regular post-workout application.

Yes - it won’t erase DOMS entirely (sadly, nothing does), but it can help ease the stiffness and discomfort so you recover quicker.

It won’t stop cramps mid-spasm, but massaging it into your skin afterwards can relax and soothe cramp-prone muscles.

Definitely. In fact, we encourage it. It’s a great addition to your recovery toolkit, used alongside proper stretching, foam rolling, ice baths etc.

For best results you want to apply with a firm massage into the affected muscle area. This helps promote lymphatic drainage, improves circulation and actually enables the active ingredients to get deeper under the skin.

Of course. 100% vegetarian, never tested on animals - only on willing humans with sore calves.

Yes - it’s perfectly safe for sporty teens dealing with sore muscles. As long as they don’t eat it (tempting though it smells)!

Everyone’s pregnancy is different, so we always recommend checking with your doctor or midwife before using any muscle rub. Our formula is natural and gentle, but it does contain essential oils, which some people choose to avoid during pregnancy.

When you apply it will be a little oily (because it’s full of amazing natural oils), but these absorb quickly so you’re not left feeling sticky.
