Muscle stretching treatment can be done at home with simple measures such as rest, ice use and compressive bandage, however, in the most severe cases, it may be necessary to undergo physical therapy for a few weeks.
Muscle stretching occurs when the muscle is too stretched, during physical activity, and for this reason, it can occur in the gym, in a race or in football, for example, this injury causes limited pain and movement, and can be classified by 3 to different degrees, depending on its severity, at level 1 only muscle is affected and at level three also occurs a break of the fibers , requiring physiotherapeutic treatment.
In all cases, for the treatment of muscle stretching, it is recommended to follow the following guidelines:
And on top of all this, it is always important to take care of the diet, preferring foods that help healing, so it is recommended to eat more protein-rich foods, such as milk, meat and eggs, and reduce sweets, as these delay tissue healing.
The use of medicines is not always indicated, reserving only for the most severe cases, in case of muscle breakage and severe hematoma, in this case the doctor may recommend taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and invasive corticosteroids in some cases.
The physical therapist must personally indicate the treatment protocol to be performed during post-research treatment, as this is just one example of what can be done and can be modified as needed.
