As you all know muscle soreness can cause a strain on your day. Runners and everyone else have gone through muscle strain and soreness before, and we all know it sucks. What I use and recommend is Biofreeze (or a similar numbing product like Bengay or Tiger Balm). First keep a cold pack on the area or soreness for a good 10 minutes then apply Biofreeze. Let the Biofreeze stay for 30 minutes then begin to massage and stretch the area of soreness. After about an hour as the Biofreeze begins to wear off apply heating pad for a good 20 minutes. If pain continues try taking an Advil or Tylenol and repeating all steps. Another method I suggest specifically for leg soreness is "The Stick". "The Stick" is a muscle roller that really gets down deep and rolls out soreness. I believe "The Stick" can be used on other parts of the body although it is primarily used for the leg muscles. Hopefully these methods can help you with sore muscles.
Question: Do you get sore muscles? What do you do to treat them?
I heard it's good to take ice cold baths when you're sore!
