Foam rollers are amazing along with massages in general. For muscle soreness heat packs (opposite of ice packs) can also help increase blood flow and sooth the area. If you're dealing with inflammation, then ice is better suited to reduce swelling.
If you're working out, make sure you are actively stretching prior (for example do air squats before adding any weight). This will help limber up the muscles for that particular exercise. This is also in contrast to static (normal) stretches which have been shown to only stress the muscle prior to working out. Static stretches are recommended as a cool down instead.
Beyond that make sure you providing your body with the appropriate nutrition it needs to grow those muscles cells. Don't skimp on the protein basically.

It's so important to stretch in the shower. All that hot water hitting sore stretched muscles does wonders to loosen them.
I swim so I'm showering before and after and getting my stretch on. But I'd assume your showering after whatever land excercise's your doing. So give it a try then.

I stretch before, drink plenty of water during, stretch after and take a nice warm bath. I have my daily supplements. Was tough at first but now not so much.
