Whether you’re an athlete, physio, or active individual, choosing the right massage product can make a big difference. Premax offers a professional range of massage creams and lotions trusted in elite sports. This guide walks you through each product—what it does best, who it’s for, and when to use it.
The right product depends on what your body needs:
We’ve broken it down below so you can pick what works best.
| Product Name | Best For | Texture / Feel | Key Benefits | Scent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Premax Original Cream | Physio & performance massage | High-tack cream | Optimal grip, perfect for tape prep | Mild citrus |
| Premax Recovery Cream | Post-workout or DOMS relief | Medium glide lotion | Contains arnica, menthol, magnesium | Menthol cooling |
| Premax Lotion | Long massage sessions | Light, high-glide | Smooth application, great for large areas | Unscented |
| Premax Anti-Friction Balm | Endurance athletes & cyclists | Waxy balm | Reduces chafing, water- & sweat-resistant | Neutral |
| Premax Warm Up Cream | Pre-training activation | Medium cream | Boosts circulation, warms muscle tissue | Mild heat scent |
Pre-event massage helps activate the muscles and prepare the body for physical activity. It’s typically done using firm, brisk strokes to stimulate circulation. For athletes who prefer a warming sensation, the Premax Warm Up Cream Formula EP5 is a gradual-absorption heat rub designed to increase surface temperature and blood flow. For longer warm-up sessions, pair it with the Premax Classic Massage Lotion, which offers high glide and smooth application. Another excellent option is the Premax Activate Massage Cream, which has medium resistance and a natural ingredient blend that helps prime the skin and muscles for sport.
For general clinic use—especially over medium to large muscle groups—a massage lotion with moderate to high glide is ideal.
The Premax Classic Massage Lotion is our top recommendation. It comes in a 1L pump bottle, is unscented, and suitable for use across all areas of the body. It’s an excellent all-purpose massage product for therapists and clinics that require consistent performance across varied treatments.
When working with injuries or sensitive areas, choose a gentle, soothing formula.
The Premax Arnica Massage Cream is specifically formulated for this purpose. It contains arnica, olive oil, and ginger—ingredients traditionally used to help soothe bruising and tender areas.
Its consistency is similar to the Essential Massage Cream, making it easy to apply while remaining kind to the skin.
Some clinical studies suggest arnica-based creams may help reduce bruising when applied topically, though evidence varies by formulation and concentration.
For techniques that require more grip such as myofascial release, skin traction, or forearm/elbow work—the Premax Original Massage Cream is the best choice. It features a higher percentage of waxes and clay, giving therapists the control they need during high-traction treatments.
This massage cream is preferred for precision work where skin movement and grip are critical.
After intense activity, use massage to actively reduce muscle soreness (DOMS) and encourage relaxation. The Premax Recovery Cream combines restorative and skin-soothing ingredients that directly support recovery and relieve tension.
For longer sessions or when you need higher glide, combine it with the Premax Classic Massage Lotion or the Arnica Massage Cream to extend coverage and maintain hydration.
