Effective relief from muscle soreness

After learning much about our muscles, let's talk about how we can ease the muscle soreness to relieve the pain and increase productivity throughout the day!

Including dynamic stretches before working out, can also lengthen and activate those muscles, avoiding overstretching and strain during training. Someone might ask if post-workout stretching or cold down helps with the soreness. Unfortunately, papers found that doing stretches after training did not reduce the effects of DOMS, but stretches are still important for flexibility.
