Muscle rub recommendations?

I have Epsom salt baths & have tried cider vinegar in there too.It does help right enough.

Any good recommend for a muscle rub?

My tendons/muscles especially in my legs are like steel wire rope.

Any suggestions that'll help ease it off?

Thanks 🙏

Do you use a foam roller for myofascial release?

No, I was using a rolling pin last night without much benefit.

Rolling pin is going to hurt a lot, mind you rolling hurts a lot anyway but it can be good at loosening things up so that you can stretch further and if it's done everyday it can have cumulative effect.

I use tiger balm too and really hot baths if I can find the time.

I find either Tiger Balm or Olbas Oil can be very soothing.

I don't recommend using them both at the same time, but have found using one or the other at different times helpful.

Good luck🙋

I am currently using Cannabi hemp cream extra strong I brought on line it’s been more successful for me than anything else I’ve tried over the years (always check with doctor or pharmacist when trying anything new if your taking any medication ) . Take care.

I use Diplophenac cream from my doctor. It’s the same as voltarol. Works for me. I also have a hot tub in the garden that I find great for back and shoulder pain.
