Book a Muscle Strain Treatment Session in Singapore

Recovery time varies for each individual and depends on the severity of the injury and treatment. A mild strain may take as short as three to six weeks to heal with just basic home care, and maybe faster with the right treatment. For severe cases, medical intervention may be required and could take months to fully recover. Surgery and physiotherapy may be necessary.

No. Stretching can agitate a strained muscle. If you pulled a muscle, you should practise the R.I.C.E. method instead. Rest and ice the affected area, use a compression wrap, and keep the injured area elevated.

This depends on the severity of the injury. With home care and remedies, mild muscle strains may heal quickly on their own. For more serious muscle strains, medical treatment and physical therapy may be required.

Some of the common signs of a muscle strain include:

• Bruising, swelling or redness at the affected area
• Difficulty using the affected muscle
• Muscle weakness
• Sudden pain when using the affect muscles
• Pain when the muscle is at rest

Every individual’s recovery and rehabilitation journey is different depending on your condition. The physiotherapist will be able to advise you of an appropriate treatment plan and frequency after the initial assessment.

Physiotherapists are allied health professionals who have an in-depth knowledge of how the body works and specialised hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat injury and disability. Trained to pinpoint the root cause of injuries and other ailments, a physiotherapist will first assess your holistic health and wellbeing, before determining the kind of movements and exercises you can and should do to aid in recovery, taking into consideration a multitude of factors including your individual needs, conditions and mobility.

A physiotherapist may use different approaches to treat and manage your condition, including movement and exercise, manual therapy and hydrotherapy.
