Are here any spur-of-the-moment and simple solutions for a sore body?
I just started volleyball practice this week, and its going great...except for the fact that I enjoy so much built up lactic acid, I feel niggle whenever I move. I was just wondering if within was anything like a home-remedy of the sort to serve me feel better.
Answer: If the pain have been going on for more than 48 hours you might try taking warm baths. Also rime any really bad areas after practice (the general rule is 20 minutes on, 40 minutes rotten, repeat).
The other thing is you may need to stretch more recurrently than your teammates. Unfortunately most sports practices don't do nearly enough stretching. A lot of people choose do do yoga, but any full body stretch session will do. One I similar to is in the Carmen Electra Striptease workout video DVD 1. There is a really nice stretch session that includes all the principal body parts. Do stretches every day, and you should start feeling much better..
Muscle strain is not due to build up of lactic acid - that's an old wive's tail. Your muscles are purely not used to the strain you're putting on them.
Try over the counter anti-inflammatories like Aspirin or ibuprofen, and any hot packs or cold packs (different general public have different results - see what's better for you).
And don't push yourself so hard..
I know what your going through, I play C-Football and Ive be there done that hehe.The best thing to do is drink as much dampen as possible, hydrate hydrate hydrate. A good Protein shake will help you do from scratch those sore muscles.Take ibuprofen to help relieve your pain and don't ever forgot your best friend Ben-gay( unscented) logically :D if you have access to a hot tub USE IT, your muscles will thank you for it.
Hope this helps...works 4 me

stretch, stretch, stretch! spend awhile stretching, sit within front of your favorite t.v. show or put in a cd and just stretch it will work wonders for you! brand name sure you drink plenty of water and if you want try putting biofreeze or icyhot on your sore muscles...you can also use heat or rime but otherwise just wait it out a few days and you'll be devout to go! i was on a volleyball troop to and had the same problem.
pocket a bath and when you sleep use lots of blankets. the heat feel really good when your sore..
Contrast showers.
Start them out hot, and then turn them cold for a bit, hot, cold etc.
It really loosens up your muscles and feel great afterwards..
Take a bath in Epsom Salt. It help a lot when your muscles are sore. Stretching..
Stretching, warm tub and keep moving. i was told epsom saline.
