I played rugby yesterday and didn't have much of a warm up and had no warm down at all. My body aches everywhere, i can't go up the stairs without being in pain, can't bend over without being in pain..is there any way to stop the aches and pains other than rest?

well from one rugby player to another the only thing you can do now is rest your body do some stretches to loosen up your muscles, and take a hot shower or sit in a hot tub or a hot bath. but the best thing to do is rest

Can't beat that feeling after a game. As people have said, a hot bath should do the trick.

U will get over it in a few days

The joys of rugby. A few stretches, some liniment maybe a bit of Mrs Hopps pain killers. Bath sounds good but I've never played at a ground with them, showers only.

Rest, a warm bath might help and painkillers if its that bad. Next time warm up and down.
