A question has come up a number of times regarding using or recommending different creams and gels for massage with the Pain Program treatment.  Is there ever a time that physiotherapists would recommend creams other than sorbolene?  What is our position on anti inflammatory creams and deep heat type creams?

VIVIR's position on medicated or therapeutic creams is:

* If it is not on the residents medication chart, then don't use it.  All medicated creams, even dencorub are not safe nor recommended to use without GP approval.
