Muscle injuries
I have played soccer for many years and have had suffered many pulled and strained muscle injuries over the years. My usual routine of rehab is to ice regulary for the 1st day or 2 to reduce swelling and then to apply heat to increase blood flow to the area. I ususally pop a few Advils inbetween to assist in reducing the swelling in the muscle. This regiment has always worked for me and leads to a speedy rehab of the muscle. I know there are a thousand techniques for rehabing a pulled muscle, like the classic: 20 minutes on - 20 minutes off routine of applying ice, but I was wondering what other people do and what works for them.
