About Us

Born out of real clinical experience, Knotty Body was created to bridge the gap between practitioner needs and patient comfort. Too many creams were thick, greasy, or carried strong scents that interfered with treatment - so Knotty Body set out to create something better.

Formulated and tested by health professionals, Knotty Body’s treatment creams support all manual therapy techniques - whether you’re a myotherapist, osteopath, physiotherapist, chiropractor, or massage therapist. Designed for versatility, Knotty Body massage creams deliver the perfect balance of grip, glide and control for deep tissue, myofascial, and remedial work. Each ingredient enhances glide and precision while keeping the skin hydrated and residue-free.

Our goal is simple: to elevate the treatment experience for both practitioner and patient through quality, functionality, and results.

Apply a small amount of cream to the targeted area and work it gently into the skin.
Knotty Body’s professional-grade formula provides consistent control, optimal glide, and adaptability across a range of manual therapy techniques, including deep tissue, remedial, and myofascial work.

Knotty Body was founded in Melbourne by Ilias Paliopoulos (Myotherapist) and Dr James Beninati (Osteopath). With over 15 years of combined experience treating professional athletes, desk workers, and everyone in between, they’ve seen firsthand how the right tools can make all the difference.

Driven by a shared passion for elevating hands-on care, they created Knotty Body to bring practitioners a product they can genuinely rely on, professional-grade, skin-friendly, and designed with purpose.

Each cream is formulated with a curated blend of premium ingredients chosen for their balance of grip, glide, and control. Explore our Key Ingredients to learn more.
