How to recover from leg pain after mountain climbing

Mountain climbing is a very popular way of fitness. It is a sport that many young people like. Mountain climbing is a sport that is very close to nature, but you must also pay attention to the correct method when climbing. You cannot go too fast or use too much force, as this will cause leg muscle strain. If you are a first-time mountain climber, you may also feel discomfort, that is, leg pain. Let’s take a look at how to recover from leg pain after hiking.

1. Proper rest: Rest can relieve muscle soreness, facilitate the elimination of metabolic products, and eliminate the supply and repair of nutrients to the sore muscle area, restoring it to normal.

2. Local tapping massage: Massage the sore area to relax the muscles, promote muscle blood circulation, help repair injuries and relieve spasms.

3. Soaking in hot water after exercise can promote blood circulation, accelerate the excretion of lactic acid, and reduce muscle soreness. For areas where soreness is more obvious, local hot compresses can be applied to accelerate the relief and recovery of muscle soreness.

4. Combining with light stretching exercises or massage will speed up the elimination of muscle soreness and promote its recovery to normal. Excessive exercise such as mountain climbing causes leg pain. Lie on the bed with your legs raised against the wall for 3-5 minutes, or lie on the bed with your legs raised for 1-3 minutes. For the calf muscles, you can first lift your calves, for example, place them on an object like a wash basin (also to increase muscle tension), and use warm water flow to massage.

Through the above introduction, we have learned how to recover from leg pain after climbing. During climbing, we must pay attention to the strength and try to avoid leg pain. In addition, we must do warm-up exercises before climbing and have enough rest time after climbing. Excessive exercise should not cause muscle damage.
