Your Complete Recovery Guide
Recovery is about giving your body the tools it needs to bounce back stronger.
How Muscle Rehab Helps You Recover
The science behind the soak.
Warm, cold, or tepid — each works in its own way.
No matter how you soak, water is the first step in recovery. Warm water opens pores and increases circulation, making absorption easier. Cold or icy water helps calm inflammation and soothe fresh soreness. Even a tepid soak gives your body a gentle reset.
Magnesium and essentials oils at work.
Muscle Rehab is designed to work through your skin’s natural pathways. As you soak, magnesium, essential oils, and arnica extract are absorbed primarily through pores and hair follicles — a process known as transdermal absorption. This gentle yet effective delivery system helps ease muscle soreness, calm inflammation, and support faster recovery from the inside out.
From head-to-toe soaks to targeted relief.
A full-body soak offers the most complete recovery experience, but even a quick hand or foot soak can provide meaningful relief. Whatever method you choose, Muscle Rehab works to loosen tension, restore comfort, and help you bounce back faster.

How Much To Use: Soaks vs Bombs
Adjust the amount to match your soak size and recovery needs.
Getting the right amount of Muscle Rehab is easy. It just depends on the format you choose. Both options deliver the same core benefits: soaks let you customize the dose, while bombs offer a pre-measured, mess-free experience.
Bath Bombs
- Drop 1 bath bomb into a full tub.
- For extra-sore days, drop in two bath bombs.
Bath Soaks
- Add ½ to 1 cup or 1 Travel Size Pouch to a full tub of warm, cold, or tepid water.
- For a smaller soak (like feet or hands), use ¼ to ½ cup or ½ to 1 Travel Size Pouch.
- Adjust the amount based on your body size and desired intensity.

*Pro Tip: Want to take recovery up a notch? Combine a soak with a bath bomb in the same tub. You’ll get the customizable strength of the soak plus the skin-nourishing benefits of the bomb — the best of both worlds.
Hot vs Cold: Recovery by Temperature
Strategic recovery starts with knowing when to cool down and when to warm up.
Reduce Swelling & Inflammation
Ice Baths
Ice baths are best immediately after intense training or fresh injuries; they can help reduce swelling and inflammation.
Gentler Inflammation Relief
Cool/Tepid Soaks
A cool or tepid soak provides gentler inflammation relief, is easier to tolerate than ice baths, and is safe for most people.
Promote Circulation & Better Sleep
Warm Soaks
A warm soak can help to promote circulation, relax tight muscles, reduce stiffness, and support recovery and sleep.
Not Recommended
Hot Soaks
Soaking in temperatures at or above 104°F is not recommended and may dehydrate skin, worsen swelling, and stress the heart.
Timing Your Recovery Soak
Dial in your soak time, schedule, and frequency for maximum impact.
Don't Prune, Just Recover
How Long Should I Soak For?
For best results, we recommend soaking for 15–20 minutes. This window allows enough time for your skin to absorb magnesium and essential oils while giving your muscles the chance to fully relax.
Longer soaks won’t necessarily add benefits, and shorter soaks may not deliver the same level of relief. Short, regular soaks will always beat an occasional hour-long tub session.
Maximize Your Recovery
When Should I Soak?
Timing matters. A soak after workouts helps calm fresh soreness and jump-start recovery. A pre-bed soak promotes relaxation and deeper sleep. On rest days, it can ease stiffness and help your body recharge. Whatever your routine, a well-timed soak turns recovery into a ritual.
Find Your Perfect Soak Schedule
How Often Should I Soak?
Most people find 2–3 soaks per week ideal for maintaining steady recovery benefits. Think of it like training: regular sessions keep your body performing at its best. You can always adjust based on your activity level, soreness, and schedule; even a couple of soaks a week can make a big difference.
