Does Stretching Prevent Soreness? The Truth About DOMS & Recovery
Ever smashed a workout and then struggled to walk the next day? That’s DOMS—Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. But what actually causes it, and more importantly, can you prevent it?
In this episode of the EFM Health Club Podcast, our hosts dive into the science behind muscle soreness, breaking down why it happens, how to reduce its impact, and the best ways to recover faster. They also get into a heated debate over whether static stretching after a workout actually helps prevent DOMS—or if it’s just a myth.
We’ll cover:
✅ What DOMS is & why it happens
✅ The best recovery methods (ice baths, massage guns, foam rolling & more)
✅ How to prevent soreness without sacrificing progress
✅ Does stretching after training actually make a difference?
If you’ve ever wondered how to bounce back quicker from tough workouts—or if stretching is really worth it—this is a must-listen!
