Ways You Can Build Up Your Energy When You Have Sore Muscles

by Melinda Hawkins

After a long day at work, you could feel very sore even if all you were doing was sitting or standing in one place. That soreness can adversely affect your energy levels, making you feel sluggish. You can rebuild that energy, of course, but many therapies take a lot of time. That doesn't mean they're bad, but it would help if you could do something now instead of waiting for results over a week or two. A few treatments and options exist.

Placing Heat Over Significant Points

The good old heating pad is your friend at times like these, but these pads are not targeted; they warm up larger swathes of your skin than you may want. Plus, they are applied only to the sore area and not to other areas where the heat may help with lymph node function. In addition to occasional heating pad use, you may want to look into therapeutic heating devices, such as iTeracare wands and similar devices. You hold these over specific points, both at the location of the soreness and other points similar to acupuncture points. Even one treatment can have a noticeable effect when you use these devices correctly.

Emitting Vibrations That Match Your Body

Vibrations bring to mind some very out-there, New Age meditations, but if you can find a device that emits what's called terahertz radiation, this takes on new meaning. The word "radiation" here does not refer to the harmful kind emitted by things like radon or nuclear power plants. Terahertz radiation is a new therapy that, according to some research, such as this study from the Journal of Biomedical Optics, may be very promising when applied to the skin. Some of the heating devices mentioned previously also emit vibrations at terahertz frequencies.

Staying Hydrated

Hydration helps your energy levels in a couple of ways. One is very basic; if you're hydrated, you're more alert and generally feel better than when you're fighting off a dehydration headache. The other is that hydration with water can be a part of successful terahertz frequency use. The journal article mentioned in the last section notes that the water content of skin helps when you use a terahertz device. Water in cells absorbs a lot of the terahertz radiation, which stops it from moving further into the body and keeps it at skin level.

You can buy terahertz devices like iTeracare wands or look into similar therapies. These may help you get rid of soreness and sluggishness so that you can function with more energy. For more information on why you should buy iTeracare frequency therapy wands and other treatment options, contact a professional near you.
