Professional-Grade Topicals That Work as Hard as Your Hands

Premium magnesium cream and prescription-strength topical NSAID, for your clients between sessions, and for your own hands after a full day of bodywork. Originally formulated for the Boston Red Sox, now available at professional pricing for massage practices.

Your Hands Do the Work. Your Clients Forget the Aftercare.

You spend an hour releasing tension, breaking up adhesions, and restoring mobility. Your client walks out feeling loose and relieved. Two days later, they are back to the same patterns, sitting, tensing, guarding, with nothing to bridge the gap until their next appointment.

Most clients have no real aftercare plan. They reach for menthol rubs that mask pain with sensation but do nothing for the underlying tension, and the topicals they find at the drugstore look and feel cheap, nothing that matches the quality of what you just gave them on the table. Meanwhile, your own hands, wrists, and forearms absorb six to eight hours of deep pressure every day. Repetitive strain is the reason most massage therapists cut back on hours or leave the profession early.

The Opportunity

Two Angles. One Brand.

01 For Your Hands

Protects the Tools of Your Trade

Your hands, wrists, and forearms are your livelihood. Topical magnesium applied after sessions supports muscle recovery in the areas under the most repetitive strain. It is not a replacement for proper body mechanics, but it is a meaningful addition to the routine that keeps you working full hours instead of cutting back.

02 For Your Clients

Extends Your Session

A take-home topical gives clients a physical action to perform between visits. It bridges the gap from passive receiving on the table to active self-care at home. Stock CALM for retail in your space, premium product, strong margins, and clients re-order because they already felt it work during their session.

The Lineup

Two Products. Evidence-Based.

Ketro RX Pain Gel tubePrescription Topical NSAID

RX Pain Gel

Ketorolac delivered transdermally. Applied directly to the site of pain. For clients with moderate to severe localized pain, or for your own repetitive strain when it goes beyond everyday soreness. Prescription-strength ketorolac, compounded per order by a US pharmacy, with an online consultation included and reduced systemic exposure versus oral.

Ketro CALM Magnesium Cream pump bottlePremium Topical Magnesium

CALM Magnesium Cream

Skincare-formulated magnesium chloride for daily muscle tension and recovery. Works during sessions as a massage medium and after sessions as take-home care. A premium magnesium cream designed for daily pain relief, fast-absorbing and non-greasy, with wholesale pricing and strong retail margins for practices.

The Mechanism

Topical vs. Oral: Why Delivery Method Matters

Your clients deal with localized musculoskeletal tension, the kind that responds best to targeted intervention. Oral NSAIDs send medication everywhere when the problem is in one place. Topical delivery changes the equation.

Localized Action

Topical application delivers active ingredients directly to the tissue that needs attention. Clients apply it exactly where they feel tension, the same areas you just worked on.

Reduced Systemic Exposure

5 to 17x lower bloodstream absorption than oral, with GI side effects equal to placebo. Topical NSAIDs bypass first-pass metabolism, so the medication stays where it is applied.

Fewer Systemic Concerns

For clients managing chronic pain, targeted relief means no added oral medication load, no kidney or cardiovascular burden from long-term use.

Intuitive Compliance

Simple to apply where it hurts. No pill timing, no food requirements, no GI concerns, which makes it easy for clients to actually follow through at home.

I was skeptical about adding a retail product, but CALM sells itself. I use it during deep tissue sessions and clients ask about it before they are even off the table. It is my best-selling add-on.Sarah, LMT, Portland

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use CALM as a massage medium during sessions?
Yes. CALM absorbs cleanly and works well with deep tissue, Swedish, and myofascial techniques. It is not a traditional oil or lotion, it is a magnesium cream that absorbs into the skin. Many therapists use it on targeted problem areas rather than as a full-body medium.
Will CALM help with my own repetitive strain?
CALM delivers topical magnesium directly to the muscles under strain. Many massage therapists use it on their hands, wrists, and forearms after sessions. It is not a replacement for proper body mechanics and self-care, but it is a meaningful addition to your recovery routine.
What is the active ingredient in Ketro RX Pain Gel?
Ketorolac, a potent NSAID used in hospital settings. Applied topically, it delivers localized anti-inflammatory action without systemic GI exposure. Compounded in a US pharmacy for each prescription.
Can I stock Ketro products in my studio?
Yes. CALM Magnesium Cream can be stocked for direct retail through our Professional Access program at wholesale pricing. RX Pain Gel requires a prescription pathway, clients would be directed to complete a consultation through our Rx platform.
Does CALM leave residue that affects my grip?
No. CALM is formulated to absorb quickly with no greasy residue. It will not compromise your grip or interfere with subsequent techniques. Many therapists apply it to specific areas at the start of focused work.
How is RX Pain Gel different from Voltaren?
Voltaren uses diclofenac (OTC strength). Ketro RX uses ketorolac (prescription strength), a more potent NSAID. Both are topical NSAIDs, but Ketro RX is compounded at prescription strength for patients who need more than what is available over the counter. See our detailed comparison.
What is the wholesale pricing structure?
Professional pricing depends on volume and practice type. Apply through our Pro Access page and our team will provide a custom quote within 24 hours.
Do you provide materials I can share with clients?
Yes. Professional Access members receive product guides and client-facing materials explaining topical vs. oral delivery. We also have published guides on topical vs. oral magnesium you can share directly.
Ketro RX Pain Gel requires a prescription. A licensed provider reviews every request. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Individual results may vary. For professional inquiries, contact proaccess@ketroskin.com.
