Every modern woman knows the rules and principles of beauty, a healthy lifestyle, and a healthy diet. This is a positive trend. However, few women pay enough attention to their muscles. As a result, many have pain. It should be understood that certain problems are characteristic of each life period – pain in the muscles of the back, legs, arms, swelling, chronic fatigue, myopia, hyperopia, etc. Let’s consider how to overcome the problem of muscle pain in one or another case.
Muscle pains in pregnant women
During pregnancy, many significant changes occur in a woman’s body, which can lead to pain as a result. Pain occurs especially often in the lumbar and sacral regions of the spinal column. The causes of the problem are a significant load on the lower back and an increase in the body weight of the expectant mother. Pain can also occur after childbirth. In this case, the causes of the problem are changes in the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments of the vertebral column.
What will help:
– warm-up, moderate physical activity;
– wearing comfortable clothes and shoes;
– wearing a postpartum girdle. Important information: The postpartum girdle should only be worn for a short period of time. The fact is that with long-term use, it will cause weakening of the back muscles;
– while feeding the baby, it is necessary to sit in a comfortable position, prolonged sitting in an uncomfortable position will lead to tension in the mother’s back.
Muscle pain due to high-heeled shoes
Many women like and often wear shoes with high heels. Such shoes shift the center of gravity forward. In this situation, the lumbar curve increases in the spine to maintain balance. As a result, curvature of the spine, osteochondrosis and chronic back pain may occur.
What will help:
– do not wear shoes with high heels until the age of 18 (this is the age of full formation of the musculoskeletal system);
– correct posture. When wearing high heels, your shoulders should be relaxed and your back should be straight;
– daily change of shoes. It is best to wear high-heeled shoes to work and meetings, and change into more comfortable shoes at the workplace. According to the recommendations of doctors and scientists, high-heeled shoes can be worn no more than 3 times a week;
– massaging the legs before going to bed. This procedure should be daily. The duration of the massage is a quarter of an hour. After such a procedure, a relaxing oil-based bath will be useful. Such care will improve blood circulation and relieve signs of fatigue.
Muscle pain due to diseases
Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, myositis, various injuries can cause muscle pain. Sometimes such muscle pain can bother a person for months and worsen the quality of life. In this case, the pain can be almost anywhere in the body, including the neck, back, legs and even hands.
