DOMS should be treated initially with active recovery. Even though you feel sore, it’s best if you engage in active recovery – going for walks, light cardio or foam rolling. This would increase blood flow and oxygen to the tissue, helping the natural healing process.
Pressure garments have been shown to provide a reduction in severity of DOMS. By increasing blood and lymphatic flow to the muscle, improving performance and shorten recovery time.
Avoid aggressive exercise during the recovery phase. This is due to the muscles reduced capacity to cope with shock absorption, in-coordination, altered muscle recruitment patterns, reduced strength and contraction intensity.
