Root Cause
Root Cause
Why "Rest & Ice" Is an Outdated Plan
You've pulled a muscle, and the first advice is often "RICE" (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation). While this helps with swelling, it is an outdated model for healing.
Resting a muscle strain for too long makes you weaker and more prone to re-injury. The muscle heals with stiff, disorganized scar tissue (knots) instead of strong fibers.
To heal a pulled muscle fast, you need Optimal Loading. This means introducing the right amount of movement at the right time. Our Physiotherapy & Rehab Center specializes in this modern, active recovery approach.

Our 4-Step Rehab Plan for Muscle Strains
Our rehab for pulled muscles is a 4-step process designed to accelerate healing and prevent the injury from becoming chronic.
The Diagnostic Assessment
We perform a full functional exam. Our Physiotherapist will test your strength and range of motion to identify the root mechanical cause (e.g., weak glutes causing a pulled hamstring).
