RE: [Paddlewise] Sore muscles - any antidote?

Thanks to everybody who wrote and shared various info.   I paddle almost every day in bog surf.  Take massage, hot baths, stretch, and do everything.  I find aspirin most helpful.

I have found that stretching exercises before paddling help reduce the
aftereffects.  I found the exercises I use in "Stretching" by B. Anderson.
I do whole body not just upper body stretching.  The other solution I use
is a good old Finnish Sauna.  Heat and a dip into cold water works wonders
for me.
