HawkGrips 8oz Massage Emollient, Unscented, Emollient for IASTM and Massage, Soft Tissue Mobilization & Lubrication for Massage Therapy, Shea Butter, Oil Based, Vegan, Cream Alternative, Pack of 5

I own a stainless steel scraper. This is THE massage cream my DPT uses. I was using coconut oil at home but it didn’t work very well. Tried lotion also which didn’t work either. This is an excellent product. As I mentioned above, it is the one my physical therapist uses. It is not greasy and has a pleasant smell. I did not want to spend the money on this but am very happy I did. A tiny bit goes a long way! Would be helpful for massage too. What is scraping? It’s something my physical therapist does that helps with fascial restriction, scar tissue, adhesions and helps loosen trigger points. I wouldn’t have tried scraping on my own. I was taught how to do it by a professional. Note: some people refer to PT scrapers as a Gua Sha Muscle Scraping Tool or Scar Tissue Tool.

This cream is perfect as a lubricant for a massage. The “almost” solid base emollient breaks down quickly with light friction when applied to the skin and spreads smoothly so that it lubricates the body well without becoming excessively oily. This provides a warm, smooth massage that fully relaxes the muscles while giving the necessary depth and heat for comfort. The unscented factor is a definite plus for people who cannot tolerate any aromas.

Exactly what I was hoping for!!! I’m an esthetician so I usually get my massage oils from my skincare line. But the new ones I’m using don’t offer any massage products. I’m so glad I found this one. It melts on contact, has slip and doesn’t dry out right away but it’s also not greasy. I got the scented one and the scent is nice and light.

it is a great product for feet.

The title sums it up. I've used rockrub for years but had to try something new because of the recent shortage. This stuff is good, don't get me wrong. And I very much appreciate that there's fewer chemicals in it than some of the other options out there. This stuff will work and I'm sure it'll last me a long time (great value!) but IMHO it's about 70% as good as rockrub in terms of viscosity/consistency and absorbency and the sheer fact this still has some chemicals in it. Will be buying rockrub when I run out of this (assuming it's available!). But no need to trash this at all. It's good, just not great.

Used with cups to work on c-section scar.

After having this done on a scar by a therapist, I use this with gua sha stones for muscle knots, scars, or tight areas. The cream is unscented but absorbs in the skin without leaving a sticky residue. A little bit goes a long way and after months I'm still not done with this container.

PT uses a similar product on me when I visit. I got this to try to work on my knee when I’m at home. I like the way this feels when you put it on. It helps my knee feel better in between PT visits. It is great as a moisturizer as well. I like that it doesn’t have a strong smell

Lid was loose. Product not sealed. Product was all over the outside of the container and inside the packaging. Should have returned it. Very unimpressed.
