There are a whole host of reasons people experience sore muscles. Maybe you went hard in boot camp recently, either by lifting heavier weights or by engaging smaller muscle groups you usually don't use, or maybe you've been slumping at the office and your poor posture is putting strain on your neck and lower back. Either way, there are a number of tools available to help you ease the pain. From foam rollers to ice packs, here are our top picks to try.
