Massage techniques for calf pain

You will often feel sore calves, especially after strenuous exercise. This soreness is particularly strong. The muscles will vibrate violently after a long period of rest, which will produce a large amount of lactic acid. When it accumulates in the calf area, it will cause soreness. This soreness can be eliminated by massage. Rub your hands together to warm them up and press on your legs or push from the bottom to the top. If you want to achieve better results, you can use some essential oils.

1. Generally speaking, there are two types of muscle pain felt in the limbs: simple muscle soreness and muscle strain. Muscle soreness often occurs after exercise, accompanied by a feeling of fatigue and weakness. Excessive exercise may also cause symptoms such as muscle cramps and stiffness. Muscle strain manifests as local muscle pain, with obvious pain when touched by hand, and is usually accompanied by muscle stiffness, cramps, swelling, etc., which affects the ability to move. Here are some effective treatments.

2. Apply hot compress to the sore local muscles to promote blood circulation and metabolic process, which helps repair damaged tissues and relieve spasms. The best time for hot towel compress is about 10 minutes. The water temperature should not be too high, about 42℃ to prevent burns. It can be used in combination with topical analgesics, such as Voltaren Emulgel. Apply directly to the painful area and massage until the affected area feels slightly warm, so that the drug ingredients can be fully absorbed and reach the affected area directly to relieve pain quickly. Oral vitamin C can promote the synthesis of collagen in connective tissue, help accelerate the repair of damaged tissue and relieve pain. Vitamin E can reduce the accumulation of harmful muscle products (such as free radicals) during exercise, relieve muscle soreness during exercise, and reduce the degree of damage to muscles caused by strenuous exercise.

Perform static stretching exercises on the sore area, keep the stretching for 2 minutes, then rest for 1 minute, repeat. Doing this stretching exercise several times a day can help relieve spasms. END Note: After strenuous exercise, you should do some muscle stretching exercises to prevent muscle fiber spasms. If muscle pain has already occurred, try to reduce the amount of activity in that area to reduce the stimulation to the affected area. Pay attention to a reasonable diet.
