If you own a massage gun, she points to Theragun, “which has a great cluster of ‘how to’ video guides available on their website to inspire your percussive routine indoors.

Find oils you like

No one wants a dry massage (one word: friction), and your choice of oil or balm is important for the setting the kind of vibe you’re after. Adejumo recommends the following:

For grounding

“Palm of Feronia’s Hinoki Self-Massage oil is a tenderly formulated blend that infuses amber and ashwagandha for a grounding experience that is purported to promote calm and release muscle tension,” she says.

For unwinding

“Massage Oil for Sore Muscles is another favourite developed by Brendan and the team at Anatome. This sweet-smelling body oil is designed to initiate an unwinding, both physically and mentally, placing the brain and frame on equal footing.”

For muscle recovery

“Puresport’s CBD infused muscle and joint balm is taking UK’s amateur running community by storm,” she explains. It contains a more traditional blend of arnica, magnesium and lavender – “all known for the ability to aid muscle recovery. The addition of 1000mg CBD oil is thought to really take rehabilitation and recovery to the next level for our professional and avid athletes.”

For DOMS

“My all-time favourite will forever remain Tiger Balm. It’s a blend that has not been easily replicated and works wonders for tackling site-specific delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a solid resistance training session.”
