Recovering

What do all of you do to recover from minor aches and pains from falling etc.

My knee's usually racked after a hard day of skiing and I'm forced to the Advil bottle. I also try Bengay and other stuff like that.

Today after shredding yesterday and trying to learn in the park my shoulders are sore as hell and it's super sore when I try and raise my hand in class.

What do all of you do to help recover from the daily aches and pains? What is most effective?

Honestly stretching before and after you ride is the best way to get rid of aches.  Gets rid of acid build up or somethin.

i work out a lot. i find moderate exercise for injuries helps healing due to the increased blood flow, and adding muscle and flexibility around the joints(or anywhere) typically keeps aches away

thats me personally though, everyone is different. although id advise to try it out

lay trenches all around the mountain for a few hours and build up some muscle instead of just degrading your muscles in park laps

try heating pads to relax your muscles. i like taking baths after a long day of shredding. then i just pass right out after that.

A really hot shower is usually good for this, keep alternating between hot and cold water to get the pain out.

It's not about my muscles being weak. My legs get sore and are fine, I shred pow but this week is clearly not a pow week for utah. I was more talking about from falls. Slamming body parts that are later sore as hell.
