Pain medications may help for awhile, but sooner or later you'll want to treat tight leg muscles in a natural and sustainable way.

Swollen legs after exercise may just be a consequence of spending extra time on your feet. If it happens often, consult your physician.

The leg contains a number of important, large muscles and tendons that help with every action, from walking to lifting weights to sitting in a chair.

Hip extension is a movement you do everyday. It uses the muscles of the butt and thighs to help you walk and stand up from a seated position.

Inner thigh muscles can get tight -- especially if you sit a lot during the day. Stretches improve flexibility in these adductor muscles.

The gluteal muscles work together daily to propel your body forward, backward and side to side while maintaining your balance.

Tailbone pain can disrupt just about every aspect of your life. Stretches can help relieve your symptoms.

Short leg heredity is a rare condition known as hypochondroplasia. This skeletal deviation can lead to lower back pain due to sway back or spinal stenosis.

Stiff legs make you uncomfortable and can inhibit your movement. Use movement and stretching to ease the sensation.

Knees that lock out are vulnerable to injury. Use proper form when exercising and build strength and flexibility in your legs to protect the joint.

Muscle stiffness can be relieved through a routine of stretching, increased bloodflow, and nutrition, along with lower exercise intensity.

Knee pain is common -- especially in athletes who run and jump a lot. Exercises can relieve pain and weakness that often accompany this condition.
