Made For People Dealing With.

  • A hooper is lying on their back on a clean court or minimal studio floor, one leg extended up toward the ceiling in a classic hamstring stretch. They are holding the back of their thigh or calf with both hands while a basketball rests on the floor beside their hip. The lifted leg shows a subtle, soft athletic highlight along the hamstring to signal tightness. The lighting is bright and clean, emphasizing muscle length and the natural stretch position. Soft athletic red glow behind his leg.

    Muscle Tightness

    Pre-Game is designed to bring heat and blood flow to tight muscles so you can loosen up quickly. Whether it’s your calves, hamstrings, shoulders, or hips, the formula helps release stiffness so your body feels ready to perform on the court, in the gym, or during your daily routine.
  • Hooper in a “hands-on-hips” or “hand on lower back” stance — classic after running the court. Basketball at their feet. Glow highlights the lower back tension. Strong, relatable moment every hooper understands. Soft athletic red glow marks around the lower back

    Lower Back Pain

    If your lower back feels tight when you wake up or after you hoop, Pre-Game helps relax the surrounding muscles and reduce tension. The warming blend makes it easier to move, twist, and stay upright without that “locked up” feeling, perfect for hoopers and adults who want to stay mobile.
  • A hooper standing on a clean court or studio with a basketball tucked under one arm. The other hand is gripping the front of the knee as if checking tightness or pain. Soft athletic blue glow marks the joint area. Lighting highlights muscle tone, not medical imagery.

    Knee Joint Pain

    Pre-Game helps warm the tissues around your knee so you can move without that stiff, achy feeling. Whether it’s from years of hooping, lifting, or just being active, the formula boosts circulation and loosens tight muscles around the joint so you can bend, cut, jump, and land with confidence again.

Why We Created Ballers Essentials- Founder Edwin Santiago.

About us

Ballers Essentials was born out of a real need one that hit me the moment I became a dad.

Before my son arrived, warming up before a basketball game was just part of the routine. But after becoming a father, I found myself short on time and energy. My body didn’t bounce back as quickly, and those late-night league games started feeling tougher. I needed something fast, effective, and safe to help me loosen up and perform without spending 45 minutes foam rolling or stretching.

That’s when I looked at the products on the market and was disappointed. Most muscle rubs were filled with toxic ingredients I wouldn’t want anywhere near my skin, let alone my sore joints and muscles. So I decided to make my own.

Ballers Essentials Pre-Game was the first creation: an all-natural, clean, fast-acting warming rub designed to help you get loose, feel ready, and stay in the game without sacrificing your health. What started as a personal solution quickly became an essential part of my routine not just for basketball, but also for weightlifting, long-distance running, and any activity where your body needs to show up strong.

At Ballers Essentials, our mission is simple: create non-toxic, high-performance muscle and joint care products for athletes who want to move better, feel better, and keep playing the sports they love.

Whether you're a weekend warrior, a gym rat, or a baller with limited time, we've got your back. Literally.

Stay In The Game. Naturally.
