BORN IN BRISBANE.

DESIGNED & MADE IN AUSTRALIA.

DOMS Defence™ was born in Brisbane from a simple idea:

Why are there shelves full of generic muscle products, but almost nobody talks specifically about the soreness that shows up after training?

So we decided to build a brand around it.

OUR MISSION

MAKE SECOND-DAY SORENESS A CATEGORY.

DOMS isn't just something elite athletes experience.

It happens after the first session back.

A harder run.

A new program.

A massive leg day.

A game on the weekend.

Or simply doing more than your body is used to.

DOMS Defence™ exists for those people.

THE EVERYDAY ATHLETES.

Free shipping for orders over $100

And easy returns. We believe in building muscles and trust.

Frequently asked questions

What does DOMS mean?

DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It describes the muscle soreness and stiffness that commonly develops after strenuous, unfamiliar or increased physical activity and often becomes noticeable during the following day or two.

What is DOMS?

DOMS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

It’s the muscle soreness or stiffness that
often shows up 12 to 48 hours after exercise, especially after a hard workout, a new training program, heavy lifting, running, sport or leg day.

It’s commonly known as “second-day soreness” because it can feel worse the day after training or even two days later.

What is DOMS Defence?

DOMS Defence is a topical cream designed to support sore muscles after training.

It has been created for people who experience post-workout muscle soreness and want a simple way to care for their body after exercise.

It’s especially useful for active people, gym-goers, athletes and anyone who wants to keep moving after a solid training session.

When should I use DOMS Defence?

Use DOMS Defence after training or when muscle soreness begins to set in.

Many people experience DOMS the day after exercise, so it can be applied when you start to feel that familiar post-workout tightness, tenderness or stiffness

For best results, make it part of your regular recovery routine alongside hydration, rest, stretching and sensible movement.

DOMS Defence™ was designed as part of your post-training routine. Follow the directions provided on the product packaging.

How is DOMS Defence different from a general pain cream?

Many muscle creams are positioned for general pain, aches or inflammation.

DOMS Defence is focused specifically on post-workout muscle soreness and second-day training soreness.

That makes it easier to understand where it fits: it’s for those sore, worked muscles that can show up after training, sport or physical activity.

What does it feel like?

DOMS Defence™ has a distinctive sensory profile. You'll generally notice cooling first, followed by gradual warmth. Individual experiences can vary.

Is DOMS the same as an injury?

No. DOMS is usually a general muscle soreness or stiffness after exercise.

An injury may feel sharper, more localised or more severe, and may be linked to swelling, bruising, weakness or reduced range of motion.

DOMS Defence is designed for post-workout muscle soreness. It is not a replacement for medical care, diagnosis or treatment.

If you’re unsure whether you’re experiencing DOMS or an injury, speak with a qualified health professional.

Is DOMS Defence only for gym-goers?

Definitely not. Running, sport, hiking, cycling, fitness classes and returning to exercise can all give you that familiar second-day feeling. If you move, you're our people.

Who is DOMS Defence best suited for?

DOMS Defence is suited to people who regularly experience muscle soreness after exercise or physical activity.

It may be especially helpful for:
● Gym-goers
● Runners
● Athletes
● Personal training clients
● People starting a new fitness program
● People increasing their training intensity
● Active workers
● Anyone who feels sore after physical activity

Which DOMS Defence product should I choose?

If you’re trying DOMS Defence for the first time, a single tube is a simple place to start.

If you train regularly, the TRIO bundle may be better value because it gives you more
product on hand for ongoing recovery. You can keep one at home, one in your gym bag and one ready for your next training block.

Where should I apply DOMS Defence?

Apply DOMS Defence to the muscles that feel sore, tight or worked after exercise.

Common areas include:

● Quads
● Hamstrings
● Calves
● Glutes
● Shoulders
● Arms
● Back

Avoid applying it to broken, irritated or damaged skin.

Is DOMS Defence just for gym workouts?

No. DOMS can happen after many types of physical activity, not just gym training.

DOMS Defence may be useful after:

● Strength training
● Running
● Sport
● Hiking
● Cycling
● Fitness classes
● Manual work
● Returning to exercise after a break
● Trying a new workout or movement pattern

Is DOMS Defence only for athletes?

No. DOMS Defence is for anyone who experiences post-exercise muscle soreness.

That includes regular gym-goers, weekend warriors, runners, active workers, beginners getting back into fitness and people who simply want to move better after exercise.

Can I use DOMS Defence before training?

DOMS Defence is designed primarily for post-workout muscle soreness, so it makes the most sense after training or when soreness begins to appear.

If you are using it as part of a broader routine, follow the product directions and listen to your body.

Can I use DOMS Defence every day?

DOMS Defence can be used as part of your regular recovery routine. Always follow the directions on the product label and avoid overuse.

If soreness is severe, unusual, sharp, persistent or linked to swelling, bruising or reduced movement, it’s best to seek medical advice.

Is DOMS Defence for injuries?

No. DOMS Defence™ is positioned around post-exercise use and should not be used as a substitute for diagnosis or treatment of an injury.

Sharp, severe, unusual or persistent pain - particularly with significant swelling, bruising, weakness, numbness or loss of function - should be assessed by an appropriately qualified health professional.

Can DOMS Defence replace stretching, hydration or rest?

No. DOMS Defence is best used as part of a sensible recovery routine.

Recovery may include:

● Rest
● Hydration
● Gentle movement
● Stretching or mobility work
● Good nutrition
● Sleep
● Managing training load

DOMS Defence gives you another simple tool to support sore muscles after training.

Can I use it before a sauna?

We recommend following the product directions carefully. Because warming topical products can feel considerably stronger when combined with external heat, don't combine DOMS Defence™ with saunas, heat packs or other strong heat sources unless the directions specifically allow it.

Why does soreness often feel worse on the second day?

DOMS can build gradually after exercise, which is why soreness may feel stronger 24 to 48 hours after training.

This is common after unfamiliar movement, heavy training, eccentric
exercises or workouts that challenge the muscles in a new way.

That’s why DOMS is often called second-day soreness.

Should I keep training if I have DOMS?

Mild DOMS is common and may ease with gentle movement. However, it’s important to listen to your body and avoid pushing through severe pain.

If you are very sore, consider lighter training, stretching, walking, mobility work or giving that muscle group more recovery time.

If pain feels sharp, unusual or severe, seek advice from a qualified health professional.

How do I get the best results from DOMS Defence?

Use DOMS Defence as part of a consistent post-training routine.

For best results:

● Apply to sore or worked muscles
● Follow the product directions
● Use alongside hydration, rest and gentle movement
● Be consistent after tougher training sessions
● Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin
● Seek medical advice if pain feels unusual, severe or ongoing

Is DOMS Defence suitable after leg day?

Yes. DOMS often shows up after leg workouts, especially after squats, lunges, deadlifts, running, stairs or a new lower-body training program.

DOMS Defence can be applied to sore quads, hamstrings, calves or glutes after training or when soreness starts to appear.

Can I use DOMS Defence with other recovery methods?

DOMS Defence can be used alongside many common recovery habits such as rest, hydration, stretching, mobility work and gentle movement.

If you are using other topical products, medications or treatments, check the label and speak with a health professional if you are unsure.

When should I seek medical advice?

Seek medical advice if your pain is severe, sharp, unusual, worsening or does not improve.

You should also get checked if you notice swelling, bruising, numbness, weakness, reduced movement or pain after a specific injury.

DOMS Defence is for post-exercise muscle soreness and is not intended to diagnose, treat or replace medical care.

Our goal is for every customer to be totally satisfied with their purchase. If this isn't the case, let us know and we'll do our best to work with you to make it right.

What ingredients are in DOMS Defence?

DOMS Defence™ uses a research-led blend of topical ingredients selected during our formulation-development process. The current ingredient declaration can be found on the product packaging. Our exact percentages, ratios, raw-material specifications and manufacturing process are confidential.

Why don't you publish the exact formula?

Because it took a lot of work to develop. We disclose the consumer information required for you to use the product appropriately, but our exact formulation architecture, concentrations and manufacturing specifications are part of the DOMS Defence™ confidential know-how. Fair enough, we reckon.
