Muscle pain is most frequently related to stress, tension, overuse, or muscle injury from exercise or physically-demanding work. In these situations, the pain tends to involve specific muscles and starts during or just after the activity. It is usually obvious which posture or activity is causing the pain. Most aches and pains are temporary and generally last 1-3 days. However, once muscle pain begins to go past 3 days without changing, or you feel the same aches and pains repeatedly, it’s time to give us a call as there may be an 6 8 4 5 1 7 2 8 5 4 9 8 7

If you cannot hold for one minute, hold for 20 seconds up with good form and then relax down for 5 seconds, repeating 5 times. As an easier alternative, rise up on elbows and knees.
