 Do it Yourself muscle recovery for the Do it Yourself-er
 
These are the tools you need to do the jobs you have to do on your house You would have to buy these tools or 'borrow' them from a friend
There is nothing much to suggest anyway of helping to recover from too much kneeling on thefloor, or stretching up too high to touch up that spot that was missed when painting except possiblya tube of muscle linament to take care of the sore stiff muscles there are caused by getting intostrange positions during the projects they are trying to complete
Injuries from home and leisure activities (read workplace accidents)
Your home project of pulling out the wall or putting up the shelving, spouting, painting, carpetlaying actually turns your home into a workplace, and it can be a very dangerous one for theinexperienced-do it yourself-er-muscle soreness and stiffness are the least of the problemsMost do it yourself-ers are not usually that skilled in what they do so they are not just at risk fromaccidents from taking the wrong approach to their safety from lack of power tool, hammer or chiselskills-they are in danger of not being able to go off to their job after their home working periodbecause they have worked too long and hard and can't move the next day
Muscle stiffness and soreness
 Their muscles became sore while they were working and then stiffened up once they sat down andrested, or after they went to bed and had a sleep and attempted to get up for work They may not have felt too bad while it was happening and their muscles were warmed andstretched, but the problems made themselves known later on-the do it yourself-er can barely move

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_onset_muscle_sorenesshttp://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/injuries/a/doms.htm
Most of these sites on dealing with it are related to sports not to the home do it yourself-er, but thetheory is still the same-there are many ways of dealing with this, except to put up with it until youare able to move again-meanwhile until it disappears in a week or so you can be sure of amusingmany people by the way you walk The do it yourself-er is in a way an athlete-albeit temporarily an 'accidental athlete'; many athleteshave an understanding about the way their body works and how far their limits are before they getinto trouble, they also have a before they start warm-up regime that includes stretching and alsorecovery program for afterwards; the diy-er usually has none of these thingsWhich is why they report to hospital emergency rooms, and are good customers of masseurs,chiropractors, physical therapist and other health professionals-there are not too many professionaldiy-ers; most of them have occupations to go to when not involved in their home projectsThis means that they should be taking steps to reduce the chances of injury and poor performance-which you will have if you turn up for work barely able to move
Having a go at home DYI projects?
Then you may as well have a go at simple DYI recovery after itI am not an expert in workplace accidents nor in sports medicine but I do a good job in recovery of muscle soreness and stiffness at ultra long distance marathon eventsMany do it yourself-ers are similar to my ultra-marathon-ers and have similar problems of recoveryfrom soreness and stiffness
after running for 3 days
What are the tools I use to deal with soreness and stiffness?

The Hands
The hand is the tool we use most of, we can saw, sand, drill, chisel, paint and do many other thingsusing other tools to make the work easier-but it can also be used for other purposes-the hand canalso help you start to move again when you can't stand up and walk after you have overdone things
my work bench-notice no other equipment
The system I use for recovery is called Light Manual Muscle Relaxation(massage-lite)
It is a fully portable totally stripped down to its bare essentials leg recovery system developed forultra marathon runners and walkersIt has been fully tested on many long distance road and track events both at home andinternationally
Light Manual Muscle Relaxation
is a simple
environmentally friendly
system usedand tested on ultra marathon runners and walkers
It is a simple system because unlike other massage systems it works
with
sore stiff muscles
not on
 them-this does not break into the bodies own recovery and healing cycle, but at the same time itincreases the supply of fresh blood to the overstressed muscle tissues to help them overcome fatigue
The Calf Muscle Pump
The muscle pump is made up of all the leg muscles and together they form a pump which forcesused blood against gravity up the legs back to the body for recycling by alternately putting pressureon the venous system and releasing
it
