Muscle Strains - Stiffness

You go to the gym, stick to your schedule, push your limits and feel great watching your body change! If only there wasn't the after… And when we say after, we mean a day or two after the exercise… The incredible full body grip that won't let you get out of bed, walk to the bus stop, or take the stairs  stairs to the office!

When pushing ourselves in an athletic activity, post-workout cramping is common. Muscle soreness can be caused by a variety of factors, whether it's because you took up exercise after a period of inactivity, because you're participating in a new, more intense exercise routine, or because you're performing movements that target specific muscle groups.

Beginners or those who have stopped exercising for a long time are the ones who usually get caught. The right exercise starts by following gentle rhythms and increases progressively, while its results appear only after a period of several weeks, especially if we train with weights.

To avoid injuries, recovery after exercise is a routine that should not be skipped, although most people forget it. The role of stretching after exercise is very important. Muscle stretching changes the length of the muscle, contributes to better joint mobility and the efficient functioning of the motor mechanisms of the human body. Experts explain that gentle stretching immediately after a workout helps reduce soreness afterwards.

There is research showing that gently massaging tired muscles helps reduce griping by about 30%. Applying a massage oil (pharmasept) or a warming cream (Erythroforte, Pharmaswiss ) can help relieve the pain where you are "stuck".
