Menthol is one of the most common ingredients used in liniments and lotions, and is an oil derived from the mint plant. The therapeutic benefit of menthol is in it’s action as a mild local anaesthetic, thus it has the ability to reduce pain associated with local trauma and injury. It’s application for injuries of muscular/tendon structures, joint and ligaments is now widespread.

FlexEze cool menthol patches are excellent for the relief of sore and tender muscles due to strain or overuse. They are especially helpful for the relief of pain associated with arthritic joints such as the knee or shoulder. Application of a cool menthol patch to an injury which is hot and inflamed, can assist in the reduction of soreness. The patches may be cut to size to adapt to smaller joints or injury site.

In the case of acute joint injury it is recommended that ice and compression be administered for the first 48 hours following the trauma. Once the risk of bleeding has been minimised, FlexEze cool menthol patches may be applied directly to the muscle or joint to assist the healing process, and repair the damage to the soft-tissues while providing pain relief.

FlexEze cool menthol patches enable you to continue normal activities and movement without the restriction of a bulky ice/heat pack, as it bends and flexes with natural body movements. The combination of FlexEze cool menthol patches and movement of the injured muscle or joint assists in faster recovery and rehabilitation.

FlexEze cool menthol patches are perfect for the treatment of sports related muscle, tendon, joint and ligament strains and injuries. General muscle soreness as a result of overuse and fatigue, arthritic conditions and back ache may also be eased with direct application of FlexEze cool menthol patches.
