Things you can do at home when you are in pain:<\/h2>\n

Painkillers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Take them at night so you can sleep as without sleep you can’t heal.<\/p>\n

Heat or Ice<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Apply heat via wheat bag or a microwaved hand-towel if simply sore.
\nUse an ice pack or ice cubes (inside a sock and wrapped in a towel) if sore and<\/strong> swollen\/hot<\/p>\n

Ointments<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Rub in deep heat cream if simply sore.
\nAnti-inflammatory cream if sore and<\/strong> swollen\/hot<\/p>\n

Compression<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Bandage a sore joint either with an elastic bandage or a compression brace.
\nSpecialised joint braces can be purchased from many chemist shops.<\/p>\n

Keep moving<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Move sore backs and other joints gently in a range they can tolerate without much pain. Backs respond well to gentle yoga cat\/cow stretches.\u00a0 Get up often and walk around as sore backs like to seize up when seated too long.<\/p>\n

If you’ve already had a massage or some physio, do the recommended stretches and exercises several times a day whenever you have an opportunity, at least once a day.<\/p>\n

General Advice on Exercise<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Many people’s exercise regimes are quite repetitive, especially those of runners, cyclists and other types of endurance athletes. A well rounded exercise regime should not only contain cardiovascular exercise, but also regular strength and mobility training to maintain muscle mass and full joint range of motion.<\/p>\n

Include a regular weekly Yoga or Pilates session or another form of mind-body exercise such as Tai Chi or Qi Gong into your exercise routine to make your body all round stronger, more functional and mobile and avoid unnecessary injuries.<\/p>\n
