Muscles are very Sore. Help please :)

Question

My muscles are REALLY Sore? Please help!

I went to Cheerleading practice Tuesday night, and now I'm so sore!

I can barely move! Mostly my shoulders/neck and thighs. I'm pretty sure it was because I haven't done cheerleading in a while, and the practice was really intense. Does anyone know any tips on how to make the aches go away? I won't take advil or aleve, or any of that stuff. Is it true that an ice bath helps? I layed in the pool on a raft all day, but it didn't really help. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much! <33

Answer 1

If you take a hot shower and put heat on your over tired muscles that will help.  I would always come home from tennis sore and ice really won&#039;t do much unless you&#039;re hurt as in bruising, heat will help sore muscles.

Answer 2

This is kind of after the fact, but after a vigorous workout you need to take a nice hot shower to help relaz the muscles, You&#039;ll still be sore, but not as bad.

Now that you are in the thick of it you can try a few things like icy hot or bengay, but I found that just waiting and letting the acid in your muscles subside works the best. I actually like the feeling because it lets me know that I did something positive to give me that feeling.

Answer 3

Go get some epsom salt and soak in it ,  

Answer 4

rub bengay on it. or go buy one of those pads that heat up ur muscles...thermacare or icy hot
