DOMS(Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) is that type of pain that you experience 2h-2 days after an exercise with the intensity greater than the muscle's used to.It takes between 5 to 9 days to fully recuperate.
I tend to get this every time I work out.It's not the bad kind of pain.Using the pain I can determine whether I trained the muscle better or not.
I usually let it pass,interfering with the muscle as little as possible.
Although it doesn't necessarily make me uncomfortable,I would like to know: what is your treatment for DOMS?

I get tight muscles after exercising which gets worse in the days after I've exercised hard. I do lots of stretching on the days in the days after and in the days before I work my hardest to help keep the muscles loose. Massage is also good
I find Ashtanga yoga works well to loosen up my muscles and reduce soreness; I also have soya protein shakes to help put something back into my muscles.

The best thing you execute the exercise regimen. You need to do warm-up exercise, to condition you muscles and joints. Same thing if you are increasing the load in resistance exercises, pre-warm up per se. Take not for the proper body mechanics.
