What is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS)?

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is a common condition that causes muscle pain and stiffness following new or intense physical activity. DOMS usually begins 12 to 24 hours after exercise, peaking at 24 to 72 hours, and is caused by tiny muscle tears that occur during unfamiliar or strenuous exercise.

While DOMS is a normal part of muscle adaptation, it can interfere with daily activities, training routines, and overall comfort. With effective management, you can relieve the discomfort of DOMS, support muscle recovery, and stay on track with your fitness goals.

Are You Struggling with Soreness and Stiffness After Exercise?

Living with DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) can make even simple movements feel challenging, especially after a new workout or intense activity. The soreness and stiffness may disrupt your routine and make it hard to stay consistent with exercise. You may feel frustrated by the discomfort and unsure how to ease the soreness. But with the right support and recovery techniques, you can manage DOMS effectively, reduce pain, and stay active without prolonged setbacks.
