The Story of MEND

After nearly two decades working hands-on with hundreds of clients in a clinical setting. I’ve learned what really works (and what doesn’t). MEND was born from the treatment room, created to fill the gaps practitioners face every day with products that need to perform, and support muscle function.

From magnesium-enriched oils that won’t stain your clothes or towels to a pre-taping gel that cools, cleans, and supports recovery -

Every formula is designed to work as hard as you do!

MEND bridges the gaps in your practice - grounded in experience, driven by function, and made for real people.

Muscle Recovery Products – MEND Magnesium Relief

Welcome to MEND, we craft professional-grade magnesium-enriched recovery products for therapists, osteopaths, and wellness retailers. Designed for hands-on care and recovery—because we know what it takes.

Developed over years of collaboration with physiotherapists, osteopaths, massage therapists & acupuncturists our products are created with you, the practitioner, in mind.

Tested by athletes and thousands of patients (never animals), these formulas are made to meet the demands of your practice while prioritising safety for your hands and your clients. As a massage therapist myself, I understand the importance of high-quality products that perform effectively and protect the therapist’s most valuable tool—their hands.

MEND is more than our original product; it’s our philosophy. Standing for:

Magnesium Enriched Naturally Derived products, MEND brings together everything you need for manual therapy in one place.

Thank you for trusting us to be part of your practice. Let’s take care of recovery—together.

  • "I've been using Mend lotion in my practice for a long time. It's a very easy application and isn't greasy like many products on the market. I also LOVE the smell and my clients are the same!"

    Cameron - Physiotherapist

  • "MEND lotion helped ease the pain in my hand, allowing me to keep me working. I discovered the benefits while using it on my patients. I realised the pain in my thumb caused by an old injury and chronic Tendonitis had gone. Since using Mend, I have not had to take any time off work."

    Sebastian - Acupuncturist

  • "The pre-taping gel leaves a fresh, effective feel on patients skin and keeps the tape on for longer.
