Muscle Pain - Myalgia

What is Muscle Pain or Myalgia?

Senior-fitness is about keeping your body stronger to help relieve muscle pain or myalgia. Muscle aches and pains are common and can involve more than one muscle. Muscle pain also can involve ligaments, tendons, and fascia, the soft tissues that connect muscles, bones, and organs.

What causes Muscle Pain or Myalgia?

Muscle pain is most frequently related to tension, overuse, or muscle injury from exercise or physically-demanding work. In these situations, the pain tends to involve specific muscles and starts during or just after the activity and may include:

• Injury or trauma including sprains and strains;
• Overuse: using a muscle too much, too soon, too often; and
• Tension or stress.

What SHS Treatments are available for Myalgia?

• Apply one of our Senior Health Stores Ice Packs for the first 24 - 72 hours of an injury to reduce pain and inflammation;
• After that, heat treatment often feels more soothing prior to exercise; and
• Gentle stretching exercises are also helpful.
