STAY IN THE GAME & OFF THE SIDELINES.
When performance meets principles, innovation happens. Here's how we developed a muscle recovery solution that doesn't compromise on either effectiveness or ingredient integrity.
THE PROBLEM
Sidelined by Soreness
Constant training setbacks from muscle soreness and slow recovery, while existing products relied on petroleum-based ingredients that didn't align with a clean lifestyle approach to performance.
THE RESEARCH
Science Meets Nature Discovered sodium bicarbonate's proven role in muscle pH buffering from athletic research, then developed a way to deliver it topically through natural emulsification instead of synthetic carriers.
THE TESTING
Small Batch Refinement
Tested dozens of formulations to achieve the right balance of cooling relief, clean absorption, and effective delivery without grittiness or separation that plagued early attempts.
THE SOLUTION
DOJO Recovery Balm
A professional-grade muscle recovery balm that combines proven pH buffering science with premium natural ingredients, delivering clean performance without compromise on effectiveness or values.

USING DOJO FOR RECOVERY
1
COOL DOWN & APPLY
Within 15-30 minutes after your session, apply a small amount to target muscle groups while they're still warm. The sodium bicarbonate begins working on pH buffering while menthol provides immediate cooling relief.
2
WORK IT IN
Massage the balm into muscles using circular motions for 30-60 seconds per area. The emulsified formula penetrates deeper than surface-level products, delivering arnica and other actives where they're needed most.
3
RECOVER FASTER
Allow 20-30 minutes for full absorption and pH buffering effects. The formula continues working as your body's natural recovery processes take over. Reapply to particularly stressed areas before bed if needed.
WHAT IT MEANS TO BE
"IN THE DOJO"
At DOJO, our purpose is simple: to keep you in the game and off the sidelines. Whether you're stepping back into training or chasing peak performance, the challenges feel the same — but the solution shouldn't come at the cost of your health.
Most products out there lean on petrochemicals and fillers. We take a different path. DOJO is crafted with natural ingredients and uniquely formulated with sodium bicarbonate, an ingredient widely studied in the performance world. We believe the best results happen when science and nature work together. That's the foundation of every DOJO formula.
ITS NOT ABOUT WIN OR LOSE. ITS ABOUT DID YOU TRY.
FAQs
What makes DOJO different from other muscle balms?
DOJO uses a unique pH buffering formula with sodium bicarbonate to help neutralize muscle acidity, plus all-natural ingredients in a clean emulsified base. Unlike petroleum-based products, our formula absorbs cleanly without synthetic chemicals or harsh fragrances.
When should I apply DOJO - before or after training?
Up to you! Apply before training to aid in activating muscles or after a session to support recovery.
Is DOJO safe for sensitive skin?
Compared to other formula's, our natural ingredients should be much more gentle. We recommend testing on a small area first. Avoid broken skin and discontinue if irritation occurs.
How much should I use per application?
A small amount (about the size of a dime) covers a large muscle group. The balm melts and spreads easily with body heat, so a little goes a long way. One 60g tin provides 40-50 applications.
Will this stain my clothes or feel greasy?
No. Our emulsified formula absorbs cleanly into skin without leaving residue. Allow a few minutes for full absorption before putting on clothes.
Why is it more expensive than drugstore muscle balms?
DOJO uses premium ingredients like organic arnica oil, pharmaceutical-grade sodium bicarbonate, and natural emulsifiers in small batches. The advanced formulation and clean ingredients provide you with a recovery experience you can't put a price on.
