How do I get rid of soreness all over my body?

Question

I had football practice today for about 4 hours and when I came home I couldn't even really walk I was so weak. Any suggestions to get rid of soreness by tomorrow?

Answer 1

My son rows crew and swears by the ice bath.  Sounds horrible, but you should give it a try.  It's too soon for heat.

Answer 2

I would take ibuprofen tonight, and then again in the morning.  It is an anti-inflamatory.  Also, make sure you drink a lot of water.
