At The Cupping Clinic, our massage therapists employ tried-and-tested techniques to dissipate lactic acid buildup, allowing you to find a sense of relief
What is Lactic Acid?
During high-intensity exercise such as lifting weights and running, the body begins to break down glucose for energy which is used to fuel your workout. As a byproduct of this process, lactic acid forms which can result in a variety of unpleasant symptoms occurring.
What Does Lactic Acid Build-Up Feel Like?
You’re most likely familiar with a burning sensation you sometimes experience during high-intensity workouts; lactic acid is what causes that. A buildup of lactic acid can lead to your muscles aching and feeling fatigued which can in turn affect your performance. There are a variety of factors which contribute to a buildup of lactic acid such as poor nutrition, inadequate hydration, and failure to complete a warm-up before exercising.
