I agree. Best way to loosen muscles is to warm them up.... then stretch properly afterwards (and don't forget this time!)

a hot bath in epsom salts also works well on top of the above

After sudden exercise you can develop DOMS - Delayed Onset Muscle Strain.

This occurs if you tear muscle fibres after sudden exercise above normal levels, it normally kicks in within a few hours up to 24 hours later. The cure is rest, the prevention is slowly building exercise tolerance.
