Arthritis is a very common disease, especially among athletes and people over 50. It is accompanied by pain and stiffness in the joints. Felxiseq allows you to overcome these ailments. It can be used for a long time and therefore relieves the body from traditional painkillers.
Flexiseq – application
Flexiseq is a medical device used externally, in the form of a gel, which is recommended for use in patients suffering from osteoarthritis. It works well in the case of pain and stiffness in the joints, as well as their dysfunction in all stages of the disease. The first positive effects of using Flexisequ can be noticed after just two days. However, the full effect is visible only after a few days.
Flexiseq – how to use
Apply Flexiseq twice a day (morning and evening) by spreading the gel over the affected joint area. The amount of the substance depends on the location:
- shoulder, knee and hip joints – the amount of gel corresponding to the length of the index finger,
- ankle joints, wrist or back – half of this amount (up to half a finger).
After applying Flexisequ, wait approx. 10 minutes – until the gel dries. Covering the area with the dry substance may make it less effective. If the process takes much less than 10 minutes, it is a sign that too little Flexisequ has been used and should be increased the next time. On the other hand, warming up the skin beforehand is conducive to better absorption of substances. Hands should be washed immediately after using Flexiseq.
