Why do my muscles feel sore after exercising? Sore muscles after physical activity, known as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), can occur when you start a new exercise programme, change your exercise routine, or increase the duration or intensity of your regular workout. When muscles are required to work harder than they're used to or in a different way, it's believed to cause microscopic damage to the muscle fibres, resulting in muscle soreness or stiffness. DOMS is often mistakenly believed to be caused by a build up of lactic acid, but lactic acid isn't involved in this process. <How can I treat DOMS?> There's no one simple way to treat DOMS. Nothing is proven to be 100% effective. These things may help ease some of the symptoms: - rest - ice packs - painkillers - massage #throwback to last week’s AWT back massage at @fabulousaesthetics It involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the inner layers of your muscles and connective tissues. This helps to break up scar tissue that forms following an injury and reduce tension in muscle and tissue. You will definitely need it especially after a long day of work.
