Tube or Pump Bottles
The gel applied from a tube or pump
bottle affords you the opportunity to create a more thorough
application by massaging the effected area during application. Through
massage you benefit from an increased blood flow and warming
of the region at the cellular level for better absorption of the
Biofreeze product. For professionals - this hands on application also reinforces patient
touch which has been shown to be very important in the healing cycle.
If the Health Care Professional is working a joint area this allows for
working with ROM movement during application.
Spray
The Cryospray™ is the newest way to
create a no touch method of application for Biofreeze®. Even though
Biofreeze® through any of the applications methods is beneficial for
acute pain, the spray is particularly beneficial for acute conditions
involving severe muscle spasms of the lower back or acute spasms of the
upper back or neck. The application can be applied pre-treatment to
acute areas of muscle spasms to allow for a faster relaxation of muscle
involvement and better treatment response.
The spray is also a convenient
application for the patient at home to continue care for these acute
conditions. As a spray it also affords the office staff a very hygienic
delivery system for applying Biofreeze to the patients. Use BIOFREEZE®
to deliver the maximum pain relief your therapy and your patients
deserve. Finally, a Spray so effective and advanced, you can offer it
to your patients with confidence for convenient at home self-care The
Biofreeze CRYOSPRAY™ is the perfect Blending of Science & Nature.
Roll-On
Roller application of the gel affords a number of unique features that
can enhance the effectiveness and convenience of this application
process. The roller application allows the Health Care Professional or
patient to apply the product without getting product on their hands.
This can be most convenient for the older patient in applying product
to hard to reach places or for someone in the workplace who must apply
product during the workday. The roller application is also very
beneficial in stimulating trigger points either through treatment in
the office or with instruction to the patient on self-massage of these
points.
The roller application is also a convenient and sanitary means to apply
Biofreeze to a patient prior to ultrasound. To continue care the
patient can take the roll on bottle home.

freeze, but the roll-on may freeze due to the dilution ingredient in
