Sore/Stiff muscle tips
​
Sore/stiff muscles can be caused by poor posture (especially from sitting at a desk or looking down at a phone or tablet too long etc), exercise, incorrect movements and many more things.
If you are getting pain from exercising, for example weight training, the pain can be par for the course as you rip the muscle and rebuild it. However, make sure you are not over-lifting and are being safe. Always warm up your muscles prior to any workout, and stretch afterwards to cool-down.
If your pain is caused by overuse, poor posture etc then ideally you want to make corrections to avoid the pain in the first place. Make sure you have good posture - don't slouch and maintain the natural curve in your spine, keep your head upright etc. If looking at a laptop or PC then ensure you are sitting properly at a desk with the screen at face level. If you are looking at a phone or tablet a lot then bring the screen up to face height rather than you looking down to waist/hand level (this results in you stretching your neck muscles too far which puts the equivalent strain of 10-14 lbs on your neck).
If you're already in pain there are some things you can do yourself to ease the pressure and pain:
​
-
Try the R.I.C.E method - Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation
​​
-
Keep moving - sometimes it helps to keep the muscle/joint moving rather than letting it stiffen up. Go for a walk or try some stretches (yoga is great) or other gentle exercise to keep mobile.
-
Have a bath with epsom salts for at least 20 mins. The epsom salts can draw toxins from your body. Be sure to drink plenty of water.
-
Get a massage - it can relieve muscle tension, increase blood flow and lymphatic drainage, and increase the range of motion in your muscles and joints. If you can't go for a massage, then consider buying a foam roller or even using a tennis ball.
-
Take an anti-inflammatory such as ibuprofen - this can come in pill form but also in gel/rub form (always follow the instructions and do not take if you have any of the contra-indications)
-
Get plenty of rest and sleep - our bodies do most of their healing while we are asleep. So make sure to get to bed early and get a good nights sleep. Look at the sleep tips section for some ideas if you struggle to sleep.
-
Look at natural supplements such as turmeric (it contains curcumin, a key ingredient that can help decrease inflammation). Magnesium can help too (this can come as a food supplement or also comes as a oil/cream/lotion) - research has indicated when applied topically and absorbed through the skin it can help with rebuilding protein and helping muscle aches and pains (including with conditions like fibromyalgia)
​
If you have injured yourself in the past, feel one leg is longer than other or you don't walk/sit straight etc you may be out of alingment which will result in pain (possibly elsewhere than the origin of the issue). I offer Kinetic Chain Releaes which may help. See here for more info

Stiff/sore muscle stretches
​
There are tons of websites, Youtube videos etc with stretches available online. These are some I find useful and cover the most common muscle complaints that people come to see me about:
​
Shoulder stretches
​
These are great for most people, especially if you sit at a desk all day, or spend a lot of time on your phone/tablet.
​
Anterior Stretch
​
-
Stand with your feet hip-width apart
-
Interlace your fingers with your palms facing outwards; stretch your arms forward, rounding your shoulders and upper back; bend your chin towards your chest.
-
Hold for 30 seconds
Posterior stretch
​
-
Interlace your fingers or hands behind you
-
Roll back your shoulders down and expand your chest.
-
Hold for 30 seconds
​
Neck stretches
​
Forward and Backward Tilt
​
-
Start with your head squarely over your shoulders and your back straight.
-
Lower your chin toward your chest and hold for 15-30 seconds.
-
Relax, and slowly lift your head back up.
-
Tilt your chin up toward the ceiling and bring the base of your skull toward your back and hold for 15-30 seconds
-
Repeat both moves several times. You should feel a release of the tension.
Neck rotations
​
-
Start with your head squarely over your shoulders and your back straight.
-
Slowly move your head over to the right side with your nose over your shoulder and hold for a few seconds.
-
Slowly move your head back to the centre, and repeat the move to the right side. Do this 5-10 times
-
Slowly move your head back to the centre, then over to the left side and repeat steps 2 and 3. You should feel a release of the tension.
​
Piriformis Stretch
The piriformis muscle is a deep internal hip rotator, located on the outside of the butt. This muscle crosses over the sciatic nerve so if it is tight, it can result in sciatic nerve irritation (a lot of times people assume they have sciatica when actually they have a tight piriformis muscle pressing on the sciatic nerve)
​
-
Lie on your back with your legs straight.
-
Lift your affected leg and bend your knee. With your opposite hand, reach across your body, and then gently pull your knee toward your opposite shoulder.
-
Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
-
Repeat with your other leg.
-
Repeat 2 to 4 times on each side.
​
Forward Bend Stretch
​
This stretch eases the tension in your spine, neck, back, and hamstrings.
-
Stand straight/tall with your hands on your sides.
-
Swing your hands up from the sides and deeply inhale as you do this
-
Slowly bend forward to touch your toes - don't aim to straighten your legs but bend your knees a little (or a lot if you have tight hamstrings).
Don't worry if you can't touch your toes either - just bend as far as you can (if you do this stretch regularly you will be able to bend further over time).
