It has been pretty quiet on the fitness scene lately, so I thought I’d post some info on how I treat common gym injuries and muscle pain. First, it is important to be honest with yourself about whether you are sore or hurt. Sore really doesn’t require anything except maybe a couple of Ibuprofen and rest. Hurt, requires a lot more. In fact, if you are hurt- pulled muscle, sore joints, tendonitis, etc, you need to be careful and do the right things. First, if you are really hurt and it is painful to do normal things, you should consider going to the doctor and getting professional treatment. But if you are sore or have tendonitis in a joint, try the old standbys of ice, ibuprofen or Aleve, rest and massage. Usually, if you do all of these, you will fell better in a few days. But it is important to give the affected area enough time to recover, so if it is still painful when you get ready to do that body part again, give it a few more days off. This is really important with tendonitis since people tend to re-injure the same area over and over because it never gets enough time to heal. These are simple steps, but they can really help most common gym aches and pains!
