Although massagers and massage patches offer direct, convenient relief, they are only temporary, superficial solutions. Many among the aching also spend their weekends soaking in hot springs, enjoying hydrotherapy at a spa, or having a session with a chiropractor at a massage studio or a Chinese medical clinic. Exhausting all means to ease their fatigue and pain, they may even take up yoga or taichi.
按摩器、酸痛貼布雖然方便、直接，但只能做暫時、表層的緩解；許多酸痛族還得利用週休，前往溫泉區泡溫泉、SPA 水療中心放鬆身心，或是到按摩院、中醫診所去整脊推拿，甚至學瑜伽、太極，想盡一切辦法來紓壓解勞，擺脫酸痛。
