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.

Resque Muscle Soak

Add a hand full of the Relaxing Muscle Soak to your bath to soothe tired, sore muscles.

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.
