Hi boycie :)

The best way is to exercise but if you're anything like me and can't then sleep is the next best thing then relaxation exercises.

It is recommended that people with chronic pain conditions have at least one session of 30 minutes relaxation every day. It mimics sleep and gives the body a chance to get rid of the lactic acid that builds up which helps to cause to the pain and discomfort that we feel.

These two links are for 2 of my relaxation Posts from the Past that I thought may interest you :)

Please note that I am not a health professional and my advice should never be taken over that of your GP but I do hope these exercises help you in the hunt for relaxation to help reduce lactic acid :)

Do let me know if they are of any help :)

Hi

I am a Personal Trainer with fibro

I have experienced a lot of lactic acid

and continually experience it daily

there is something very interesting about lactic acid however i am trying to research how people with fibromyalgia feel lactic acid as it is a natural process and fibro feel the effects differently.

There is something to have a look at would be: The Explanation of Oxygen Debt

This reply is really not suitable for the website unless you write your response here - as it is it sounds as if you are advertising and that is against the site guidelines. Please would you remove or clarify your position. Sue
