    Don't you find that next-day muscle aches from a workout can be kind of nice at first? I always feel so #fitspo and get so smug that at first, the muscle pain is kind of bearable. But of course, eventually, the pain catches up with me and really starts to cramp my style.

    Sometimes I try to stretch or massage where it hurts to ease the pain. But I figure, why not attack it from every angle?

    We’ve rounded up eight products that can help ease your muscle pain. Give one (or even all) of these pain-busting bad boys a go, beauties. We bet you won't regret it...

    These look interesting.
    Sootyhere 26 Jun 2018 11:31 AM
    Ooh Rotorua mud looks interesting.
    perthchick 20 Jun 2018 3:22 PM
    Magnesium should have been on the list.
    katrina176 5 Jun 2018 6:19 AM
    I haven't tried any of thoses.
    I have used Epsom Salts which seems to work well enough.
    Ray 4 Jun 2018 12:43 PM
    Thanks for these recommendations! I love a good aromatherapy oil, The Natio one is one that I will defiantly be giving a go.
    ThisIsMe 4 Jun 2018 12:41 PM
    I love that afterburn feeling! Didn't know there were so many things for training pains though!
    2663anne 4 Jun 2018 9:50 AM
    I love a good soak for muscle soreness, so the molten brown one appeals to me most
    MoonlightSak16 4 Jun 2018 9:18 AM
    The Lush Massage Bar is good I have used it before. the only thing is you have to remember to store it in the fridge during hot summer otherwise it will melt. have had that happen and it caused a mess.
    Goddess..... 4 Jun 2018 3:02 AM
    They all sound good but don't really like putting any oil's on my skin. I like the Wild Ferns Creme as that would be the only one I would try on here.
    Beautybabe140194 4 Jun 2018 1:03 AM
    Great list of products. I use epsom salts in a nice warm bath when I have muscular pain.
    cherry pie 3 Jun 2018 10:21 PM
    Epsom salts or magnesium flakes work better for me than scented products. I will take those and voltaren gel over more luxurious products any day.
    jatz 3 Jun 2018 8:47 PM
    We have so many creams, lotion and potions for hubby. I sometime have to massage his pain and my hands get tired so I will have to check out the Body Shop re that Tri-Massager.
    Gilded 4 Jun 2018 6:15 PM
    My parents have two electrical massage devices. One was a purchase, the other nearly identical one was a gift. Both are collecting dust after a few uses...
    Simone 3 Jun 2018 8:26 PM
    A great list of items, a couple of those are being added to my wish
    List. I’ve had the body shops tri massager for years.
    You beauty 3 Jun 2018 7:49 PM
    Ohh all these lovely products makes me want to run a bath now.
    AP1992 3 Jun 2018 7:06 PM
    Loving the look of some of these.
    Yohanna 3 Jun 2018 5:01 PM
    I have used fancy Elemis soaks....divine stuff, but $$$$
    Linda_Vesinger 3 Jun 2018 3:20 PM
    Epsom salts are much cheaper, but highly effective muscle soother, just add some to the bath
    onlyoni 5 Jun 2018 7:19 PM
    I second the Epsom salts, **Linda** - very effective and much cheaper.
    Bellefleur 3 Jun 2018 11:39 AM
    I really like Fisiocrem for muscle aches and other pains - it contains such beautiful herbal ingredients as calendula, arnica and hypericum which are perfect for pain relief.
    Gilded 3 Jun 2018 11:11 AM
    I used Bengay and Icy patch but can't find it here so I get Get Up. An Asian friend also gave me a sheet that sticks to your skin and its good at relieving pain. Can't remember what the name was but it smells like a mix of menthol and other herbs probably.
    Mayy 3 Jun 2018 10:25 AM
    I used to have sore muscles for no reason. My neck would just ache. I recently started doing yoga and whilst it hasn't been that long, I can slightly see a difference in the pain
    Princess Perfume 3 Jun 2018 9:23 AM
    I probably don't exercise enough to get muscle pain but I do keep a tube of Arnica on hand in case I do
    ray_jay 3 Jun 2018 1:09 AM
    what about deep heat or similar products- they are great!
    arnica is the best ingredient for sore muscles followed closely by magnesium oil and Epsom salts.
    Snailor 2 Jun 2018 10:44 PM
    I'm a huge fan of yoga for long term muscle soreness management. I work an office job and twice a week yoga is the only reason my back and neck isn't sore every day.
    misfortune8 3 Jun 2018 1:55 AM
    I'm with you on this one. I've missed yoga for weeeeeks due to migraines & my whole body is seizing up!
    Trish_D 2 Jun 2018 10:33 PM
    Fascinating article. I've not used any of the above, most I haven't heard of before. Panadol Osteo caplets work well for me when I need them.
    Amy Burnett 2 Jun 2018 10:29 PM
    Great suggestions and maybe some even better ones in the comments ;) I'm just happy to be reminded that it's the time of year when soaking in a warm tub is fantastic and a great way to relieve muscle tension all on its own!
    cosmoslyn 2 Jun 2018 10:05 PM
    good ol epsom salts are cheaper than these, but i guess if you want to spoil yourself these are great
    Lucrecia629 2 Jun 2018 7:17 PM
    I could have used this article two weeks ago. I sometimes get neck pain so bad I can't turn my head. I love the look of the mud.
    clearcrystalwater 2 Jun 2018 6:57 PM
    Oh awesome article! Thanks bh! Love the look of the Natio Sorts Recovery rub, the Endota Spa Organics set and the Wild Ferns Rotorua Mud products. How did you know?!
    sparrow x 2 Jun 2018 6:43 PM
    Oh, how I wish I had a bath!
    Miss19 2 Jun 2018 4:22 PM
    I've actually been to the Rotorua mud baths! Full of minerals and great for your skin
    Sparkle 77 2 Jun 2018 4:13 PM
    I have had shoulder muscle burn the last few days and I have been popping a few Panadol a day to relieve the pain.
    Beccaduncan23 2 Jun 2018 1:51 PM
    So please to see Lush's Wiccy massage bar on this list! It's the best thing I've tried for sore muscles
    Hayley644 2 Jun 2018 1:40 PM
    Epsom salts and magnesium can help.
    Beauty Obsession 2 Jun 2018 12:57 PM
    Magnesium oil is fab! Also a fan of Epsom salt baths! I didn’t realise the Kosmea rescue balm could be used for sore muscles! I’d love to try the Milton Brown thermal bath soak! Sounds wonderful!
    duality 2 Jun 2018 12:51 PM
    I just use plain old Epsom salts, magnesium in it is the best thing for sore muscles, I add a few drops of a nice oil for a relaxing scent
    maggieball 2 Jun 2018 12:10 PM
    I’ve never used any of these but I get cramping pretty often. The Red Pepper thermal treatment oil looks like it would be warming and moisturising too, but expensive! I might give the Natio a try first.
