Sometimes all our muscles begin to feel sore after exercising, playing sports or just the general wear and tear from our busy schedules. But the pain that comes with it might not always warrant invasive procedures or treatments, if you’re looking for some non-invasive ways to manage your pain then you’re in the right place! We’ve come up with some of our top ways to relieve pain using non-invasive methods that you’re likely to be able to do in the comfort of your own home.
Our top 4 non-invasive pain relief techniques:
1. Using cold and heat: I'm sure we’re all familiar with putting an icepack on after dealing with a small bruise when we were younger, it’s just as effective now as it was back then. Depending on what type of pain you’re managing, hot water bottles and ice packs wrapped in a cloth are accessible and provide results instantly. Just hold either of them close to your muscles or sore spots for mild pain relief and to reduce any inflammation.
2. Exercise: this one may sound counterintuitive especially if it’s how you developed pain in the first place, but gentle exercise focusing on stretching and strengthening your muscles will benefit you long beyond the initial pain relief. Focusing workouts on strength building exercises such as pilates or yoga can help prevent exercise related injuries.
3. Massage: although many of us view this as a luxury, it’s most athletes go-to when it comes to muscle pain, find a local qualified masseuse near you that specialises in sport related pain for the best results. Or treat yourself to a spa that offers massages as well and enjoy the extra pampering and relaxation alongside the treatment targeted at relieving your pain.
4. Meditation: it’s hard to see the link between pain relief and meditation, but often pain can be caused by external stressors that impact your body's ability to function. Don’t underestimate the role stress plays in your overall health and wellbeing, find a guide to simple meditation online or simply hit play on a soothing playlist and declutter your mind.
