Yonemoto Physical Therapy, located in Alhambra and near South Pasadena, is an official distributor of Biofreeze®.

Biofreeze® is a pain relief product that can help patients relieve pain while they are doing exercises for recovery (strengthening, flexibility, etc.).  The menthol in the Biofreeze® stimulates specific sensory receptors in the skin, thereby blocking other receptors from sending pain signals to the brain.

It can be used before exercise or therapy (to relieve painful movement), and afterwards (to soothe muscle or joint soreness). In some cases, Biofreeze® products may even be used during exercises or therapy.

We carry the following sizes:

• 3 oz. Roll-on
• 4 oz. Gel tube with hands-free application
• 4 oz. Pain relieving gel

If you have any questions, you can call our office at (626) 576-0591.
