Targeted Care for Joint Health: Product Briefing
FlexiSEQ gel offers a convenient, drug-free option to maintain joint health and mobility for adults of all ages.
So, let’s talk about joint health.
In a world where sedentary lifestyles at home and at work are fast becoming the norm, adults of all ages are looking to stay active as part of their overall well-being. Whether it is tending to that garden that refuses to weed itself, doing those boring chores around the home, or jogging or cycling to the office, or swimming as part of that daily workout, everyone wants to keep moving. They recognise that an active lifestyle is important for mental as well as physical health. They want to live the active life they want without joint health issues getting in the way.
In a world in which information is only a click away, and with so many confusing choices about the best way to look after their joints, people can at least agree on the importance of staying active and keeping moving.
Across all age groups, adults know that their wellbeing, both mental and physical can be greatly improved by even the smallest amount of regular exercise. But ‘knowing’ and ‘doing’ are two different things.
So, what gets in the way?
The joint health dilemma and confusing choices
What happens if someone finds their joints are not allowing them to stay active and mobile, preventing them from living the life they want? What if joint pain, stiffness and conditions like osteoarthritis are keeping them chained to a sedentary lifestyle?
They find themselves in an emotional quandary: on the one hand they might be feeling unable to move, but on the other hand they are being told by Healthcare Professionals that movement is exactly what they need. Indeed, there is growing evidence that sedentary behaviour such as sitting or lying down for long periods is bad for your health, with the NHS referring to inactivity as a "silent killer".
There are also plenty of official statistics around leading an active lifestyle:
- Physical inactivity linked to 1 in 6 deaths in the UK - UKGov
- Exercise can reduce your risk of major illnesses, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and cancer, and lower your risk of early death by up to 30% - NHS
- Reaching the recommended 150 minutes per week of physical activity drastically reduces the risk of serious heart condition - UKGov
- Active lives save the UK millions by preventing 1.3 million cases of depression and 57,000 cases of dementia, with up to £780 million saved on mental health services alone - Sport England
However, the problem is that pain is often more persuasive than the advice and with so many treatment options available today and perspectives circulating on social media it can be confusing as to which to choose.
At the same time, people are becoming increasingly aware of the side effects of drug-based products that contain Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and paracetamol.
They are also conscious that such products can only offer temporary relief and can only be used for short periods of time.
As a result, they are often looking for something else, preferably drug-free to help manage their joint health as part of a daily routine which can help them to say active and mobile.
This is where innovative drug-free FlexiSEQ gel applied daily around the affected joints can help. Adults of all ages can keep leading the lives they want, without fear of the side effects of drug-based products.
What is FlexiSEQ and how does it work?
FlexiSEQ is a drug-free gel to be applied topically - and contains no NSAIDs, paracetamol or medications which can have long-term effects if used consistently over a prolonged period.
In contrast FlexiSEQ can be used for as long as needed alongside any medication that people may already be taking - including blood thinners and pain medication.
FlexiSEQ’s unique Sequessome Technology is powered by plant-based lubricating droplets.
Inspired by phospholipids associated with naturally-occurring lubrication that exists in joints, FlexiSEQ is specially formulated to deliver lubricants when gently massaged onto the skin of the soft tissue around joints, which helps users to stay supple, flexible & mobile for the long term.
FlexiSEQ gel, launched in 2013 offers an innovative approach to daily joint care, backed up by extensive user testimonials.

“I’d like to say thank you to FlexiSEQ for enabling me to sleep, to relax and to do the things I love. Everything in life is better when your pain goes away.” - Rachel Kelsall

“Because I’m asthmatic I couldn’t use certain products. Things like ibuprofen are not good for my asthma so I started to research what could help me manage my pain. I first heard of FlexiSEQ on Facebook. I’ve been recommending FlexiSEQ to people because at my age there are a few of us out there with joint pain, so if it can help them like it has me I’m keen to spread the word.” - Jean Gibson
“What I love about FlexiSEQ - aside from it actually working - is that there’s no ibuprofen in it. It’s why my husband can use it and why I’ve been recommending it to my clients.” - Alyson Bowden Jordan
