When you lead an active lifestyle it’s natural that you are going to experience aches and pains. This is especially true when you participate in hard-hitting sports training for boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and other mixed martial arts. Using a muscle rub like Sombra Warm Therapy can help you feel better and stay focused on your training. Unfortunately, sore muscles and joints can be a major focus killer. This could leave you taking extra strikes from your sparring partner and, in turn, make you perform even worse. The heating sensation of this rub can provide you with the ability to stay focused on training, sparring, or competitions rather than your aching joints and muscles.

Oftentimes, people dislike these types of products because the scent is overpowering. You won’t be facing that here. It is fresh and light. In addition, it fades away quickly. You will get the cooling sensation that helps to dull pain followed by the warming that soothes the soreness right out of you. This product is safe to use several times a day. You will want to make sure to avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. There are a few different styles so you can find the perfect match for your routine. Whether you suffer from daily aches and pains or you simply lifted too much at the gym this product can help to reduce the uncomfortable pain that comes from overworked muscles.
