SIDE STITCHES TIPS & TREATMENT
You are out for morning run and suddenly you get a sharp pain, a catch or stitch in your side. Side stitches are caused by a spasm in the diaphragm, the muscle between your chest and your abdomen, which isn’t getting the oxygen it needs.
- Stop
- Massage the area; it will release the cramped muscle.
- Exhale deeply as you massage.
- Get your breathing back to a normal pace, and then walk.
- Learn to belly breath. Become aware of your breathing as you exercise.
- Try to train yourself to have a bowel movement before you begin exercising.
- Do not eat for two hours before strenuous exercise.
