A member asked:
I am having tight muscles in my quads ,calves etc.this comes from many hours working on a desk.except physical activity ,what are some other ways to help them get loosen,like food or medication?

Dietary modification to relax muscles will not succeed. There are several medications such as muscle relaxers which could work, but side effects might be disabling. Better is to find out why you are having such problems from office work. Have your doctor commence an evaluation, and see if you might require specialty assessment.
