What Can You Do For Your Sore Muscles? Find Out Now!

You wake up one fine Sunday morning, ready to take on the rest of the day with the vitality and joy that befits the weekend. But as you attempt to climb down your bed, you feel a dull pain just above the buttocks. “What’s going on?” you begin to wonder as you become aware of the stiffness. You went to bed last night without any issues! As you sink back into the bed, a thousand worries start to crowd around your mind.

The pain and stiffness are the result of nothing other than muscle soreness. While you may greet this news with a sigh of relief, soreness is nothing trivial. You can follow some simple tips in order to tackle and ultimately resolve this problem.

Tips for dealing with sore muscles

1. Move slowly: You may feel like lying down and taking rest. After all, you are in pain! However, physiotherapists around the world say that this is actually a bad idea. What you need to do is to start moving slowly and carefully. This will gradually increase blood circulation to the affected muscles. There is no need to jump around or lift weights. But you should start using the sore muscles in a controlled manner. Do this for just 15 minutes.

2. Stretch carefully: After moving around a bit, you can start to do simple stretching exercises, especially those which target the affected muscles. Stretching makes the muscles more flexible and brings much needed oxygen-rich blood to the muscles. This will help speed up your recovery.

3. Drink water: Numerous studies have noted that one of the most common causes of muscle soreness is reduced concentration of water in the body. So whenever you feel sore, drink at least 2 glasses of water. Remember to stay away from caffeine or alcohol as both are known to increase the symptoms of dehydration.

4. Get massage: It is a known fact that massage brings almost instant relief to sore muscles. Just remember to inform the masseur of your current problem. This will help him moderate the massage session and give much-needed attention to the affected muscles.

5. Have adequate protein: If you tend to suffer from sore muscles regularly, then it is a sign that you are not getting enough protein through your daily diet. Thus, you need to include protein-rich items like fish and poultry. You can also try eating nuts or lentils as they are good source of vegetable protein.
