Premax Essential Massage Cream 400g (1)

Premax Essential Massage Cream is the glide medium a remedial therapist or sports trainer works into a muscle during a hands-on massage. It comes in a single 400g tub, enough to see a busy bench or clinic through plenty of sessions. It suits the slower, deeper passes on a tight muscle, where a therapist wants a medium with enough grip to work one spot at a time.

This is a 400g massage cream, the medium you use for hands-on massage rather than a rub you leave on the skin. You warm a small amount in your hands and work it over the muscle, topping up as the session needs. As a cream it holds more than a light oil would, so you can work slowly over one spot without the hands sliding straight past it, which is why it suits remedial, sports and deep-tissue work.

It's a carried Premax product, sold under the Premax name. For exactly what's in it and how it sits on your skin, the pack is the place to check, and anyone with sensitive skin or a known allergy to an ingredient should read the label before a first use.

Straptor is Australian owned and run, with the massage and recovery range stocked alongside the strapping tape a club or clinic goes through in a season. The range is on the shelf at the East Bendigo walk-in, and there's phone advice if you're weighing up which massage medium suits the work you do. A club or clinic can order the tape and recovery range together and call to sort quantities.

Common questions

What is a massage cream for? It's the glide medium so the hands move over the muscle in a controlled way during hands-on massage. A cream suits deeper, slower work where a light oil would be too slippery.

What's in it? The pack carries the full ingredient list. If you want the detail before you buy, that's the place to check, or call and ask.

How big is the tub? A single 400g, which sees a busy bench or clinic through plenty of sessions.

Is it right for sensitive skin? Read the label for the ingredients first, and patch-test if you know you react to things on the skin. Anyone unsure is better off checking the pack than guessing.
