A member asked:

How can i treat a pulled/strained thigh muscle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

RICE: Rest, ice, compression and elevation are the mainstays of early treatment. After the acute phase gentle progressive stretching should be done several times a day. Once your are pain free start a progressive strengthening program to prevent recurrent injury.
