How to deal with thigh muscle pain after exercise

Life lies in movement. Life without movement is imperfect and destined to be short. There are many types of sports, some simple and some complex. But in reality, whether it is a simple or complex sport, it has its own unique techniques. If we are reckless during exercise and do not pay attention to these things, it will often cause muscle damage, such as thigh muscle injury is a common one. Thigh muscle injury will inevitably lead to thigh muscle pain, so how to deal with thigh muscle pain after exercise?

There are several ways to deal with thigh muscle pain after exercise:

1. After exercise, you can lie on a sponge pad or rattan mat to rest for a while. When lying flat, your feet should be placed slightly higher than your head, or at the same height as your head. Never lie on the steamy ground. After resting for a while, you can do headstand or wall handstand for 3-10 seconds. You can do it several times. This is good for blood flow back to the heart from the lower limbs. Then shake your limbs, first shaking and patting your thighs or upper arms, and then shaking your calves or forearms.

2. Leg massage: Massage the anterior inner and anterolateral sides of the thighs repeatedly from top to bottom.

3. Shake your legs: Stand or sit, relax your leg muscles and shake them, while moving your ankle joints up and down, left and right in a circular motion.

4. Hot compress, massage, electrotherapy or static traction exercises can help relieve spasms. You can also take vitamin C orally to promote the repair of injured tissues. After 12 hours of stopping exercise, the symptoms became more severe the next day, then gradually eased, and disappeared after 4-6 days!

5. To relieve muscle soreness, most people use stretching to lengthen the muscles. This may be because when the muscles are stretched, the Golgi tendon organs of the muscles are stimulated, causing them to have inhibitory impulses. From a central perspective, stretching the muscles can change the excitability of the corresponding centers, and through the action of the negative stretch reflex it can block the spasms caused by excessive excitation of the muscle spindles, and improve the local tissue ischemia caused by spasms, thereby improving muscle blood flow and promoting the recovery of damaged tissues.

If we accidentally injure our thigh during exercise and cause thigh muscle pain at the same time. At this time, we might as well refer to the method taught above to recover. I believe the effect is still good. Mastering these methods does not mean that we don’t need to pay attention when exercising in the future. On the contrary, only by paying attention to all the details of exercise can we ensure that we improve the various functions of our body without harming our health.
