Just how healthy are your muscles and joints?
Answer our questions and find out if your flexibility is compromised.
Find out how flexible you areA strained muscle takes approximately two weeks for the pain to subside. It may then take up to a few months to heal completely.
This period is a time for rest so avoid any strenuous activities. After the initial 2 weeks of rest, gentle movements, such as walking and stretching, are the best options.
You could also apply a little Arnica Gel to your back, as this has anti-inflammatory properties and provides swift relief from aches and pains.
If the problem doesn't improve after trying these simple home remedies, or suddenly gets worse, I would advise visiting your doctor to make sure there is no other possible cause for your symptoms.
