Waste products are created by the body as a result of exercise. To lessen the resulting pain of sore muscles hot and cold and massage can be used. One proven theory is alternating hot and cold to flush out toxins that have built up in the muscles.
Patrice Morency, sports injury specialist uses the alternating hot and cold in the shower to help flush out the build up of waste products in the muscles. If that is not available or convenient try alternating hot and cold packs.
Massage is also wonderful for increasing the circulation to move the toxins along. Simple stretching can help increase the circulation as well and relieve the soreness.
If you respond better to heat (or hot and cold) try our moist, instant and reusable heat packs.
