Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)
DOMS begins the morning after the day before! When you change or increase your exercise routine in any way there is a phenomenon known as DOMS that sets in as the soft tissues adjust to the increase in muscle tone. It usually appears 24-48 hours after exercise or can be the result of a fall or trauma pushing the tissues out of their normal range. It leaves us feeling sore and stiff and often with reduced mobility in the short term but will usually subside after a few days. There are things you can do to minimise or help avoid it to continue enjoying your exercise safe.
