Have you ever experienced muscle soreness after a workout? In this episode, Dr. Michael Gorman and Dr. Lauren Bennett will discuss the benefits of exercise, physiology of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and tips for prevention of soreness after a workout. 

You will also learn how to distinguish between muscle soreness and pain.

DOMS occurs 12-24 hours following a workout and typically diminishes within 1-3 days. When exercising correctly, DOMS is unharmful and can be desirable to achieve the benefits of strength training.
