I was sent these products for the purpose of review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Ever since I had Jack in December 2011, I’ve had a niggling pain in my lower back every now and again. I find it is often exacerbated by sitting too long in the same position (very easy to do when working from home on a laptop) or standing too long. Steve also suffers occasionally from neck and shoulder pain so when we were asked if we would like to try some Biofreeze products to see how they worked for us, I thought it was worth trying them to see if they can ease our niggles a little!
Backed by science and trusted by clinical professionals, Biofreeze is scientifically proven to reduce pain. In fact clinical studies have shown that those who use Biofreeze feel their symptoms of pain decrease twice as much as those who don’t.
The cold sensations from the Biofreeze products override the pain signals that usually go to the brain and instead you should feeling a cooling sensation from the product instead.
We were sent two of their products to try – the gel (112g/118ml) and the roll-on (84g/89ml). So what did we think?
You should apply Biofreeze no more than four times daily so we made sure to remember this whenever we thought about applying. The gel came in a tube that makes it super easy to apply and is perfect for on the go whereas the roll-on allows hands free easy application and is also perfect for on the go.
I’ve been struggling with my back pain a little more in recent weeks – I’ve been trying to get a lot of work done into the dead of night so I can spend as much of the summer holidays with the kids as possible. As you can imagine, sitting in that same position for hours on end can really play havoc with an existing ache so it has definitely been niggling at me. I’ve been applying this every now and again to ease the pain – I usually deal with it as I don’t want to take an oral painkiller but then it gets so bad, I do end up taking something. Applying the product every now and again has really brought some of the pain down and made it much more manageable.
I’ve still got plenty of the product left but so far have been very impressed with the decrease in pain. Have you ever tried any Biofreeze products before?
This sounds like a great product. I have never got on with deep heat so I like the sound of this one. I often struggle with lower back pain for the same reason as you. Working from home on a dining chair!
I really struggle with painful joints, so this would be great for me, I haven’t actually tried it before so I will have to give it a go.
These might be worth alook at, i get the odd pain in my lower back, generally im ok but its the only place that happens on the odd occasion, great review.
I sometimes struggle with back pain as well so thank you for sharing this product. I will do more research into it.
I’ve tried freeze products before, but not this brand. I do get back ache occasionally and usually it’s if I’m sat on the wrong sort of chair. For example when I was working at my parents on a dining table chair I’d get pain, but being in a proper office chair now I don’t x
I suffer with arthritis pain, so this sounds like it would be really beneficial for me, will look it up
My lower back has been giving me so much pain over the last few days and I have tried everything! Will definitely pick some of this up and give it a try , thanks 🙂
I believe I tried this last year when I was having pain as well. Do you know if it works for a headache?
My husband would benefit greatly from this. He has lumbar stenosis and was supposed to have surgery, but the pandemic has given us no option but to patiently wait until it is “safe” to go to the hospital. I will check if this is available in our pharmacy. Hopefully they do have it!
I have never heard of these products before but they sound great and so pleased to hear they are helping you with your back pain too! I will definitely go check these out as I often suffer with some neck pain when I have been at the laptop too long!
This would be very handy to have in the first aid cupboard at home. Who knows when you might need to get it out – looks so easy to apply too.
My dad uses biofreeze and absolutely loves it, I think I might have to give it a try for my back pain as its getting worse sitting all day.
This sounds perfect for my knees. I’ve had terrible pain in both knees for a few months now.
