Whether caused by stress, overexertion, or bad posture, muscle discomfort can take its toll. A localized pain in even one muscle can prevent you from sleeping well and performing at your best throughout the day. See why a multipurpose, skin-priming, cellular-rejuvenating topical gel like RENU28® Revitalizing Redox Gel can help relieve inflamed areas of the body.
When Stress Causes Sore Muscles
With a busy life, stress can be something we deal with regularly. Sudden onset of stress can cause muscle tension and pain, usually in the shoulders, neck, and back. According to Harvard Health, the stress response begins in the brain when our bodies feel oncoming threats and go into protection mode, sending a signal to the nervous system.
Our bodies are hardwired to react to stress in ways meant to protect us from predators or other physical aggressors. While today’s stressors—a deadline at work or an aggressive driver on the highway—usually don’t pose a physical threat, the stress hormones that prime us for action can still cause us physical discomfort.
Overexertion and Poor Posture
Muscle discomfort can also be brought on by overextending yourself during physical activity. Overdoing it can lead to stiffness or soreness. Look out for these common causes of muscle discomfort: Starting a new exercise routine, exercising more intensively or for longer than usual, or failing to warm up and stretch properly. If an injury is causing significant pain or restricting normal movement, it is best to see a doctor. If you are experiencing only a minor irritation, applying a soothing, topical gel can give you some relief.
Hunching at your desk all day can cause some soreness of the muscles. When you have incorrect posture, it reduces the blood supply to the muscles, which can slowly develop stiffness in the shoulders or lower back. Try writing yourself a reminder to sit up straight at your desk and get up and move around every hour for at least five minutes. Apply RENU28 to the affected area three times a day to ease temporary muscle discomfort.
