muscle aches

[trojandogg Bantamweight Member Find all posts View Profile Close trojandogg]

Being in my early 30's, i have realized i am not a spring chick anymore and i have noticed that despite good stretching and proper warm up, i finding little injures that used to be no problems in the past, tend to last much longer requiring me to ease up on certain exercises to prevent it from becoming a major problem. I was wondering if anyone has found any solutions to this. Do people find regular massages worth the cost? Hot tub use? Others?

Thanks guys

ART and massages for me on the regular

Any chance I have I take advantage of a hot tub. It really does the trick for muscle soreness.

Good sleep also helps. I take melatonin every night before bed. It is probably the most important supp I take. I've always had trouble sleeping and it works wonders for me.

foam roller
then rumble roller + lacrosse ball
bath salts
better form
vibram 5 fingers
morning stretches

all the above help me a lot and are very cheap.

I am a big fan of the the ART but only use that when i have an injury. I suppose it can be used as a preventative thing as well?? How often do you do have ART or massages done?

Thanks for the all the suggests guys!

Both ART and deep tissue massage every 3-4 weeks. I use them both as pre/re-hab as needed.
