Aching Muscle or Joint Pain
It's common to experience sore, aching muscles and DOMS (Delayed-onset-muscle soreness) after a workout. Don't worry, that means in short - that you have had a good workout.
Sore muscles usually occur 6-72 hours after you've worked out, you're putting a lot of stress on your muscles, so it's completely normal to have aching muscles for a few days afterwards.
DOMS (post exercise) happens because you've caused damage to the small muscle fibers. You've essentially causing loads of tiny rips your muscles and now your body is repairing them.

1. Have a hot shower or a bath
One of the best things you can do to treat sore muscles is to have a nice hot bath. Runt the water at the hottest temperature you can manage. If you have a shower instead of a bath, then aim the shower head at the areas that ache, such as your shoulders.
2. Stretch Gently
Stretching and mild/gentle exercise is another excellent way to treat sore and aching muscles. Stretch all of your muscles gently from head-to-toe, or do 30 minutes yoga or Pilates routine for flexibility.
3. Keep Rollin' with Foam
Using a foam roller on your back and shoulders for 10 minutes on the floor is like having a really strong sports massage!
4. Apply a Hot Water Bottle or Heat Pack
You should be warm before stretching, this is because your muscles work better when they are warm. By applying heat directly to the sore are you are making this muscle more pliable and the heat will ease the pain.
