What Causes Post-Exercise Muscular Pain? What Can Speed Up Your Recovery?
You know the feeling… dreaded “stiff and sore muscles” a day or two after you’ve done a little more exercise than usual.
The good news is that most of these acids convert back into glycogen and are re-stored in preparation for your next bout of exercise. Pain and muscle fatigue can exist until the acid levels in your muscles return to normal.
Until the blood supply increases, you will have trouble with oxygen and nutrients supply. This allows toxic wastes to back up and stagnate. You will experience soreness, pain and stiffness. Many exercise enthusiasts regard aches and pains as the inevitable price to be paid. This is usually not true.
What Causes Muscular Pain?
Shortly after exercise begins, a mix of lactic and carbonic acids builds up in muscle tissue. These acids are waste products of muscle contractions. Don’t worry these acids are normal. To produce “energy”, muscles burn stored glycogen. Lactic and carbonic acids are bi-products of this metabolic process.The good news is that most of these acids convert back into glycogen and are re-stored in preparation for your next bout of exercise. Pain and muscle fatigue can exist until the acid levels in your muscles return to normal.
How Does Massage Help?
Massage helps to eliminate the irritation caused by these acidic wastes. Research shows that massage can increase muscle recovery much quicker than rest alone.Why is Massage So Useful When You Exercise?
Regular exercise causes many body changes. To meet the demand for more oxygen and nutrients, one improvement is the increase in blood vessels to the muscles. This circulation increase helps to eliminate the waste products and toxins that build up with exercise. Importantly, it can take several weeks to develop an improved muscular circulation.Until the blood supply increases, you will have trouble with oxygen and nutrients supply. This allows toxic wastes to back up and stagnate. You will experience soreness, pain and stiffness. Many exercise enthusiasts regard aches and pains as the inevitable price to be paid.

What does Massage, African Kids and a FREE Heat Wheat Bag have in Common?
Enjoy a massage during the month of June at PhysioWorks Clayfield or Sandgate and we’ll give you a FREE wheat heat pack (valued up to $44.95) to keep you warm this winter. At the same time, you’ll also be helping underprivileged children in Africa.
How?
While you’re being soothed by a magical massage, the profits from the heat packs that PhysioWorks have purchased go directly to Eagle Wings to assist vulnerable children in South Africa. This worthy charity provides aid and hands-on work in various communities in Africa, including the provision of food, clean water, clothing, housing, medicines, training and care.
You ALL know about how wonderful a PhysioWorks massage is, but what about these new wheat heat packs?
These quality wheat heat packs are made from corduroy, and come in a variety of colours and sizes. The wheat granules are grown in Queensland, treated and then captured in small squares, so that when your wheat heat bag is held upright the wheat remains in position and doesn’t fall to the bottom of the bag. Plus, the company who makes them is a not-for-profit local company who financially support the Eagles Wings charity.
That means your new microwaveable wheat heat pack will not only keep you warm this winter; help to ease your aches and pains; and is great for the bottom of the bed to warm your cold feet; but also helps the kids in Africa!
Interested? What to Do.
If you need a massage then June is your month to enjoy a superb PhysioWorks massage, receive a FREE wheat heat pack and help a great children’s charity.
Get Soothed and Stay Warm this Winter!
Enjoy your relaxing, rejuvenating 60-minute massage in June, and you’ll receive a quality neck, standard or eye wheat heat pack ABSOLUTELY FREE!
Simply mention the “Eagle Wings” massage promotion when booking your massage to claim your free wheat heat bag.
