  Massaging sore muscles

  Posted by Riddleboxxy on January 4, 2011 at 1:29 pm

  Hey, I’m not sure if anyone else didn’t know his but I only found it just recently from a friend who loves to massage. Whenever I would massage my sore muscles, I’d usually just do the default massaging hand movements (mostly pressure with thumb, other fingers supporting) but now.. if I can explain it: Using your fingertips (not the nail part, it can get irritating) and with pressure, dance your fingertips over the sore muscle. It feels amazing and helps me a lot more than other things. Hope it helps! :]

  get yourself a foam roller, girl! i use it whenever i'm sore, but other polers SWEAR by them for loosening up tight muscles in advance of stretching as well. ottersocks on this forum is a huge fan of using foam rollers and alethea austin is probably the most vocal big name poler.
