How can i get rid of a strained muscle fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not possible: strained muscle takes time to recover. Things that accelerate recovery include use of nsaid, ICE, stretching and some formal physical therapy that emphasizes progression from passive exercises to isometric, concentric and eventually plyometric exercises. At the very minimum this could take 4 to 6 weeks. If your an elite athlete it is advisable not to resume sports until healed completely.
