Can anyone suggest a good muscle rub or balm, my wife's hip is sore due to running wk 1. Not too bad but anything that could help would be appreciated. Also for my thighs lol.

Thankyou in advance :-D

Tiger Balm is very good but rather smelly. The other one is Emu Oil (surprise surprise its Australian) but you may be able to get it on line.

Try arnica gel/cream or Devils Claw. I have found both useful.

I've just looked you can get Emu Oil Muscle and Joint Balm from Amazon, if its anything like the real stuff we bought in Australia its wonderful and well worth every penny.

Tiger balm definitely.the rugby players use it. Get the white one rather than the red one then it doesn't stain the clothes.
