Tight muscles
What are some ways to relieve tight muscles? I get them from time to time in my arms and it can hurt. What do you use?
|
How much water per day do you drink? Staying hydrated will help with stiff and sore muscle and it is also very healthy. Also try stretching your muscles.
|
Stretching is a great way to get rid of tightness.
|
I never used to be a water drinker until I started getting cramps. Now I make sure to get 8 full cups a day sometimes more.
|
I try to drink a gallon or more of water every day.
|
Stretching, foam rolling, rolling on a lacrosse ball, shoulder dislocates w/broomstick. Find the tight areas and just slowly work into them - ya don't want to kill yourself, but it shouldn't be comfortable either. Getting plenty of water is always good, but I don't think hydration will help a whole lot with tightness.
|
dynamic stretching, strengthen the opposing muscles, i.e. tight chest = weak upper back, tight calves = weak shins
water, static stretches, trigger point deactivation. |
Could you see about asking a PT? They should know how to deal with this.
