• Dissolve 1 cup of Epsom Salts in the bath water
  
• Soak in it for 20 minutes
  
• Please drink water while you soak in the bath. Do not dehydrate.
  

Heat

• This is for pain caused by tight and stiff muscles
  
• Use a hot water bottle or a microwaveable bean bag
  
• Place the water bottle or bean bag over the area of pain for 10 minutes
  
• Remove for 10 minutes and repeat for another 10 minutes
  
• You can apply heat before doing any stretches as well
  
• Heat will help to ease tension in the muscles and soothe the area of pain
  

Ice

• This is for pain caused by swelling (like a sprained ankle)
  
• Wrap an ice pack in a towel and then place it over the area of swelling
  
• Keep the ice pack tight on the area and try and keep the injured body part elevated (like the leg or arm)
  
• If you have injured your back, try and push your back into the chair while the ice pack is over the injured area
  

Active Rest

• Keep moving from a seated position to a standing position and walk slowly around
  
• Try avoid staying in one position the whole time
  
• Movement helps to get the blood flowing and helps with circulation
  

Essential Oils

• Rubbing peppermint oil, rosemary oil or lavender oil over the area of pain can help ease symptoms
