There is not a day in our clinic we do not use Self-Heal Sports Balm at McNeal Wellness Center. It is an integral part of our treatment for musculoskeletal injuries. Use with moist heat makes our treatments more effective. I use many liniments in our office but Sports Balm is used the most. It is the only sports liniment of its kind no comparison to another liniment.

I have been using Self-Heal Sports Balm for the last 10 years, there is not another product that even comes close. I do up to 20 massages a day and use this product in all my massages. Sports Balm saves me a lot of time and work because it gets in and relieves pain and loosens up stagnated energy. It gets in and loosens up the tight muscles almost as soon as you open the jar!!!! My Dad called me in a Panic. His arthritis was so bad he couldn't grip his golf clubs. I sent 2 jars of Sports Balm. He not only is playing golf still but he is back to playing squash!!! That was 5 years ago!!
