Marathon Runner Finds Relief for Sore Legs with Soothing Gel

Sometimes, soreness is inevitable after exercising. While it seems like a good sign of a successful workout, it can also cause stiffness that’s extremely distracting when you want to go about your day. Fortunately, you don’t have to simply wait for it to disappear thanks to pain relief creams; you can ease the discomfort within a few minutes. Take the Mio Muscle Motivator Revitalizing Gel, for instance, which delivers a cooling relief to overworked muscles and joints. 

This pain-relieving formula contains menthol that creates a fast-acting, cooling sensation on the targeted areas. “This can decrease arterial blood flow and desensitize nerve endings,” Deepti Agarwal, MD, Director of Interventional and Integrative Pain Management at Longevity Medicine previously explained to Shape. 

At the same time, this body gel keeps skin moisturized with seaweed extract that’s rich in fatty acids, as well as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and proteins that are all incredibly beneficial for skin. It is also known to have healing properties as it soothes skin conditions related to inflammation, making this product suitable for those with sensitive skin. And if you don’t mind a fragrance, this pain relief gel offers a refreshing scent of menthol and eucalyptus once applied. 

Several reviewers recommend the Mio Muscle Motivator Revitalizing Gel for before and after workouts. A reviewer compared this pain relief treatment to “caffeine for the skin and muscles” as it’s “so soothing and invigorating” as well as “instantly cooling” after a long yoga session. A second customer who could “barely move” said it gave “relief immediately” to their sore legs after a marathon. Other users raved that it delivers “instant relaxation” to muscles and leaves skin “fresh, soothed, and instantly cooler.”
