With the support of Blackmores, he has been running from the North to the South Pole in a race to raise millions of dollars for the International Red Cross. He has covered the equivalent of two marathons every day, with no days off, for almost a year, covering over 21,000 km through 14 countries.
As part of his daily recovery program, Pat has been using Blackmores new pain relief cream, Flexagil®, to treat the pain and tightness in his legs.
“At the end of each day, I make sure my muscles have a chance to cool down gradually,” Farmer said.
“I have a really good stretch, and a massage session using Blackmores Flexagil® Pain Relief Cream. It is made from a natural ingredient, and it really helps relieve the soreness and inflammation in my muscles and joints,” he said.
Blackmores Flexagil® Pain Relief Cream is a plant-based topical medication containing comfrey root extract. It is an effective natural alternative to topical diclofenac, an ingredient found in some pain relief gels and is clinically proven to relieve pain and swelling from sports injuries, acute back pain and improves joint mobility.
