Exercises for Muscle Pain

Regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to alleviate and prevent muscle pain. At MHV Clinic, we recommend the following exercises, tailored to individual needs, to help reduce muscle pain:

Stretching

Gentle stretching improves flexibility and reduces muscle tension. Stretching exercises like hamstring, shoulder rolls, and neck stretches can relieve tightness and improve blood circulation.

Strength Training

Building muscle strength helps prevent injury and reduces muscle pain. Exercises like squats, lunges, and resistance band workouts target specific muscle groups, strengthening them and promoting stability.

Aerobic Exercises

Low-impact aerobic exercises, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, improve cardiovascular health and help manage chronic muscle pain by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the muscles.

Posture-Correcting Exercises

For those experiencing pain due to poor posture, exercises like wall angels, planks, and core-strengthening routines can help correct alignment and reduce muscle strain.

Foam Rolling

Foam rolling is a self-massage technique that helps release muscle tightness and tension. Using a foam roller on affected areas can reduce pain and improve mobility.

At MHV Clinic, our team of experts works with each individual to create a personalised exercise plan, ensuring safe and effective pain relief. Incorporating the right exercises into your daily routine can alleviate muscle pain and prevent future discomfort.
