So you decided to get back to working out but you jumped right in to the routine that you used to do in high school. Now one or two days later, you are having trouble moving without it hurting. This is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness or just muscle soreness. It is probably due to small amounts of damage to your muscles that when repaired will make them stronger, but you will pay for it now.
There is no instant treatment for muscle soreness, but you can try easing into working out next time to prevent it. But if its already here, I’ll give you some techniques to help relieve it:

  • Gently massage the sore areas. This is my preferred technique and even though it hurts to do, it will relieve it some and you can do it yourself at work.
  • Stretch out those muscles
  • Take an anti-inflammatory
  • Ice the muscles then take a warm bath with Epsom salt
  • Just wait it out, it’ll pass in 2 or 3 days
