Use ice for Muscle Strains

Use ice for Muscle Strains -

You must use ice immediately after your injury with considerable rest. Applying ice to your strained muscle may help decrease pain and reduce or prevent swelling. however it is not recommended that you continue to play your sport or activity after icing. You must allow sufficient time for your injured muscle to heal.

Wrap the ice pack with a damp towel before applying your injured muscle. Avoid direct contact between the pack and your skin for more than 20 minutes, because this can cause frostbite injuries.

Avoid using heat, like a hot pack and wet or warm compress, immediately after your injury, as this could cause your symptoms worsen.

ice can be used with other home remedies like the rest, the use of compression bandage (elastic bandage), and elevation of your membership. This is often called the RICE therapy. RICE stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation
