Why Your Muscles Ache After a Workout—and How to Soothe Them

Soothe Sore Muscles and Recover Faster with the Hot & Cold Therapy Massage Ball

 

Have you ever finished a workout feeling unstoppable, only to wake up the next morning with sore, stiff muscles? This lingering discomfort, often called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), is a common experience for anyone who exercises regularly. But what causes it, and more importantly, how can you soothe those aching muscles? Let’s dive in.

What Is DOMS and Why Does It Happen?

DOMS occurs when your muscles experience tiny tears during exercise, especially if you’re trying a new activity or increasing your intensity. This natural process helps your muscles grow stronger, but the aftermath can leave you feeling less than amazing. Symptoms typically include tenderness, stiffness, and a decrease in strength that can last anywhere from 24 to 72 hours.

Recovery Is Key to Reducing Injury Risk

While soreness is a sign of progress, neglecting proper recovery can lead to overuse injuries or prolonged discomfort. Recovery allows your muscles to repair and rebuild, which is essential for improved performance and overall fitness. Tools that support this process can make all the difference in your routine.
