What is best treatment for sore muscles?

Answer 1

This might not be THE BEST, but it definitely works. follow all these instructions properly and you will make your sore muscles go away completely or at least suppress.

1. Stretch all of your muscles, it is prefered that you stretch your muscles right after your work out to avoid sore muscles. But if you didn't, you can still do it now.
2. Soak muscles in cold water, for at least 10 minutes.
3. then soak muscles in warm water for at least 10 min.
4. The soak muscles in cold water again for at least 5 min.
5. Eat plenty of protein. Protein is the building blocks of muscles. (at least a 100 g).
6. Take plenty of rest probably sleep.

Make sure you eat a lot of protein. if you don't, every thing else you do will be just a waste of time.

NOTE: If your muscles are sore, don't worry! muscle soreness is a good thing. Your muscles are sore because they are trying to build up. they don't want to be used while they are building up, so that's why they give you a sore feeling.

WARNING: Do NOT drink soda or energy drink (Monster, 5 hr energy, etc), if you have sore muscles. those things will make you hyper and you will lose the sense of soreness for short time. your muscles are still trying to build up but you will be using them because you are hyper. This will rip your muscle and will cause permanent damage.

Answer 2

Leave it alone. Take a few days break from the gym. Do not train the muscle. Apply hot water massage on the muscle and probably a pain relieving spray if pain is very severe. Your muscle would get back to normalcy in a weeks time (depending on the severity of the soreness) and then you can resume your workouts

Answer 3

You could get a massage, take a hot bath with epsom salts, drink more water, but excercising more will naturally decrease muscle soreness.
