How do you get rid of sore muscles?

Question

I just got back from volleyball practice & my thighs are really sore.

Answer 1

I rub the sore muscle, stretch it, and work it a little (I know that makes it feel REALLY sore while you're working it, but it feels better afterwards). Basically I do what makes it give you that sore sensation, because it seems to help afterwards.

Answer 4

Before each practice perpare your muscles for soreness by stretching and heating them. After your practice ice the muscles. The only way to get through the soreness if you already have it is to keep doing the things that got you sore. If you stay away and avoid doing that one thing that got you sore, then go back to it a week later you're going to be sore all over again. The idea is playing through the pain.

Answer 6

I found this great stuff. It's a muscle rub. If you like ice, Perform gel muscle rub. I found it in my neighborhood drugstore. It's awesome for after volleyball. I ahd a volleyball camp and I used that and it worked really good. i put it on before camp and i could actually move!

Answer 7

you should alwats STRETCH to prevent sore muscles but since u are past that point then
put on cold then hot for about an hour (20 min on each) then stretch inbetween, this should loosen up you muscles i have to do this for volleball,basketball,tennis ,running, and swimming
lucky stretching!<3 but NEVER JUST PUT ICE WATER/COLD .IT TENSES UP YOUR MUSCLES and can cause more pain.

Answer 8

1) Heat obviously, 2) stretch slowly. 3) Drink lots of water (helps flush the toxins your muscles have built up) 4) if it still hurts an aspirin is not out of the question (thins the blood so your muscles can rebuild)

Answer 9

i usually take an anti-inflammatory like Advil and take freezing cold baths (i put some ice in the tub and put cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes.) also you have to stretch the muscle. don't give up on what your doing either because that wont help it.

Answer 10

i stretch and i helps but you have to wait it out. if you keep working out it feels really good.your body just gets used to it and you get stronger yeah blah blah blah. but sore just means you are using muscles you haven't used a lot before you you have never used before. and being sore really pays off when yuo play.
