Massage oils

Massage oils are an important part of the Sports Pharmacy > Massage > Massage Oils category, as they make massage of muscles, joints and body areas more pleasant, even and comfortable. They are used for relaxation, local care, post-activity recovery routines and body care after training, recreation or everyday physical effort.

This category includes products such as Medisport neutral massage oil and Refresh massage oil. Massage oils help reduce friction on the skin, make massage movements smoother and may contribute to a better feeling of comfort during treatment.

Massage oils can be used by athletes, recreational users, physically active people and anyone who wants everyday body relaxation. They do not replace medical treatment, physical therapy or medical examination in case of pain, injury or inflammation, but they can be a useful part of a body care and muscle relaxation routine.

How to choose the right massage oil?

The choice of massage oil depends on the type of massage, skin sensitivity and desired effect. If you need a simple, neutral oil for different types of massage, Medisport neutral massage oil can be a practical option for professional or home use.

If you want an oil that fits into a refreshment, relaxation and body care routine, Refresh massage oil can be a good choice for massage after a long day, physical activity or as part of regular skin care.

Massage, recovery and joint support

Massage can be part of a wider recovery routine for people who train, stand for long periods, walk a lot or have increased muscle and joint strain. In addition to massage oils, proper warm-up, stretching, rest, fluid intake and gradual increase of physical load are important.

Pharmacist’s advice

Apply massage oils to clean and intact skin, using an amount that allows comfortable movement during massage. Do not apply to open wounds, irritated skin, mucous membranes or the eye area. For people with sensitive skin, it is recommended to test the product first on a small skin area. If redness, itching, burning or irritation occurs, discontinue use.
