Supporting Partners

Biofreeze

Biofreeze provides long lasting, fast acting cold therapy pain relief for sore muscles, back aches, sore joints and arthritis.
SAFER PAIN RELIEF
Applying Biofreeze directly to the skin provides targeted relief without the risks that come with an oral pain killer.
PROVEN TO WORK
Biofreeze is scientifically proven to reduce pain. It is also less likely that users will experience stiffness, skin irritation and numbness that can often occur with the application of ice.
POWERED BY COLD
Biofreeze works by stimulating cold receptors in the skin through evaporation. This creates a cooling sensation which helps to override pain signals.
