There are two types of muscle strain: active strain and passive strain. Muscle actively contracts or passively elongates under the direct or indirect action of external force, which is easy to cause strain. Muscle strain is a slight injury, partial tear or complete fracture of muscle caused by active strong contraction or passive excessive elongation of muscle. Muscle strain is not a serious injury, but it will seriously torture your body and mind and bring negative effects to your body. Let me introduce the treatment of muscle strain.

Methods/steps

9/9 Step by step reading

Rest: If you feel abnormal pain in a certain part of your body during exercise, don't do it again. You should completely relax and rest.

2/9

Find out the injury:

Turn the injured part gently and do some gentle movements casually to determine which muscles, tendons and ligaments are painful or injured, so that you can know where the treatment actions should be concentrated and which actions should be avoided during strenuous exercise.

3/9

Don't increase the burden of the wound;

After finding out the injured parts, not only do not do sports that affect these injured parts, but also pay attention not to increase the burden of the injured parts in daily activities. For example, don't lift heavy objects for low back pain and don't run for sore feet.

4/9

Bypass the wound and take the "active rest method";

The human body has more than 600 muscles. So, even if you hurt 100 muscles, you still have more than 500 muscles to practice. You should exercise all your muscles to improve your health and achieve uniform development, and at the same time strengthen the femur, which is the main load bearing. There will be muscles around the wound, which can be used by interested people. For example, if you are injured or take over Gaskin's muscles, you will be allowed to do squats, but you must be careful.

5/9

Cold compress:

Cold treatment should be carried out immediately after muscle strain-rinse the local area with cold water or apply ice with towel, and then bandage the injured area to prevent swelling. While relaxing the muscles of the injured part and raising the injured limb, you can take some drugs to relieve pain and stop bleeding. After 24 to 48 hours, remove the bandage.

6/9

Promote local blood circulation:

Try not to do it within 24 hours. You must carefully measure the injured part, find an action that can gently move the injured part, and use this action to promote blood circulation, thus supplementing fresh nutrition and removing waste.

7/9

Gently stretch:

Slowly stretch the wound until you encounter a slight collision, and then try to relax the injured part. When you do this, try to stretch further. When muscles are stretched and relaxed, more blood will flow there for treatment, and you can heal faster. But if you stretch too much, it will lead to the wound getting worse and even getting injured again.

8/9

Massage:

Gently massage can directly increase blood flow, or you can massage yourself, but a more effective way to relieve pain is to relax yourself and let someone who knows how to massage you. Usually 24 hours after injury.
