Can the balm be used before training, or is it only for recovery afterwards?

The FBT balm with the 'FAST RECOVERY Trio Venom' formula is designed for two use cases, and they are not mutually exclusive.

Before training, it is applied to the areas you plan to work — the neck, shoulders, back, knees and elbows. The warming effect helps the muscles 'switch on' faster: the feeling of warmth where it is applied makes the skin more receptive to massage movements, and the feeling of stiffness eases even before the main workload begins. This is especially relevant when exercising in a cool room or outdoors in cold weather.

After activity, the balm is used as part of a recovery ritual: applying it with massage movements helps you switch from exertion to rest, and the warming effect lasts long enough for the muscles to relax.

The light texture does not leave any noticeable stickiness, so the product is equally convenient in a sports bag and at home. The main thing in both cases is not to apply the balm to damaged skin and to avoid the eye area and mucous membranes.
