Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: This works: Soak in a tub and dump a load of Epson salt in the tub (you can buy at CVS for a few bucks) Epson salt is known for it's ability to draw toxins out of your body!. Lactic acid is a toxin your muscles build up when you are overworked!. Soak for 20 minutes!. Get out of the tub and while still sort of damp put on warm sweats and socks (yes even if it's hot, it OK to get a little sweaty) Do this for 20 minutes and do some slow stretching while you're waiting!. Icy hot and things like that only numb your muscles, they don't do anything to actually help heal them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com -ice/heat allternating -hot bath -roll out your sore muscles on a pilates foam roller -stretch!!! before and after you dance http://www!.performbetter!.com/catalog/ass!.!.!.
