In my massage practice I work with people who suffer from a lot of muscle soreness. While I think massage therapy is great and is defiantly a huge help for muscle pain there are also a few supplements that help a lot as well. These supplements work really well for anyone suffering from chronic muscle pain or muscle pain associated with working out.
Epson salt- I can’t tell you how much this helps. Seriously! Magnesium helps relax muscles. Take 2 cups and soak in a warm bath for 20-30 minutes. You will thank me for it 🙂
Arnica- These little pills are life saver. I take these at the slightest sign of muscle pain. They are safe for kids to take too. Here is a link to the ones I use.
Natural Vitality Cal-Mag- This little miracle tonic saves my life on a daily. It also helps me sleep like a baby. I have posted a link below.
Foam rolling- I can’t tell you how important it is to roll out before and after you work out. This will help keep your muscles supple and healthy as well as flushing out lactic acid. You can get them for around $20 and it’s well worth the $20.
H20- Yup good old fashion water. Drink lots of it and apply it in the form of ice anytime you have muscle pain.
Hope these help. Let me know if you have questions.
