It is recommended to treat the strain with ice the first day, and then treat it with warm compress for the next couple of days. Apply the warm compress a couple of times a day for 15-20 minutes. There is also a Voltaren cream, that might help. Also I recommend the increased ingestion of vitamin C, because it is necessary for collagen synthesis. This also means a gym break for as long as the muscle is still injured.
