The worst thing about lower back pain is that it can stop you doing simple daily tasks, that you would otherwise find easy to do. But a close second is that recovery can be a long, slow process that you might have to keep up for many months.
To help with this, we've found 3 great products that can not only help to reduce your pain, but also speed up your recovery.
1. Ibuleve Max 10% Ibuprofen Gel
Are you in pain? Are you looking for a gel to reduce your pain and swelling fast and effectively? Have you used brands before that haven’t touched your pain? Are you looking for the strongest ibuprofen gel on the market? Then this is what you need.
Do you already have a pain relief gel that isn’t working? Check the concentration %. A lot of the main brands are just 1-2% in concentration. This pain relief gel boasts a huge 10% ibuprofen content, which means it is much stronger than others on the shelves, and the strongest you can buy.
2. Koolpak Reusable Hot & Cold Pack (Set of 3)
Handily capable of being used as either a heat pack or an ice pack, this set of 3 Koolpak hot/cold packs can help reduce pain of an injury at any staged. They can be used in the early stages of an injury as an ice pack to reduce inflammation and bruising, or they can be used towards later stages as a hot pack to reduce muscular tension and improve flexibility.
This set of 3 packs means you don’t have to wait for one to freeze before using it again, you can use one while they others are in the freezer! The fact their are 3 in each order also helps anyone looking to use contrast therapy where they alternate between hot and cold packs to improve circulation and speed up recovery.
3. Premium Exercise Mat
Are you performing your rehabilitation exercises at home? No one likes lying on the floor! Not only does a premium exercise mat prevent you having to sit on an unclean surface, it also makes it a lot more comfortable! This one can be rolled up and carried around with the strap too so you can take it out with you to the gym, park or even just into the garden to do your exercises in the sun!
