Are you feeling a sudden sharp pain in your stomach? Do you feel like you have been punched by Mike Tyson after doing some core exercises? Well, that’s the result of muscle strain in your stomach. However, don’t worry as we’ve got some tips up our sleeve to help treat it.

What is muscle strain?

Muscle strains are quite common injuries and can occur anywhere in the body where there is muscle tissue. They happen when muscles or tendons become overstretched and sometimes tear as a result of activities such as lifting weights or going for a run.

How do I know if I have strained my stomach muscles?

Some symptoms include:
– Pain
– Swelling
– Tightness
– Cramping

Here are some quick-fix remedies that will prove beneficial for treating stains:

Heat compresses

Heat application is an excellent way to increase blood flow to any injured area of the body; heat improves circulation which provides faster recovery time. Apply a warm compress (hot water bag) over your affected area 5-6 times each day.

But what about ice?

Don’t use cold compresses during the first three days!! Only apply heat therapy because using ice on fresh injury will not provide fast relief but rather delay rehabilitation process

Massage

Massaging helps promote healing among tissues and breaks down adhesions that may form around damaged fibers Here’s how;
1. Lie flat on your back with legs extended.
2. Thumbs should touch belly button with fingers pointing downwards towards groin.
3. Find tender spots while pressing lightly into skin until firm pressure feels good without triggering further pain
4.Once find painful spot stop massaging immediately!

Make sure massage therapist focuses only on abdominal/oblique/quad areas

When to get massaged

Visit a registered massage therapist as soon as possible. Make sure to communicate the level of pain and discomfort you are experiencing.

Rest, rest, and more rest!

One of the most important things you can do when dealing with muscle strains is giving enough time for your muscles to recover fully. Don’t rush into doing daily activities too fast or too intensively; let your muscles take it easy after an injury.

How long should I wait?

You will need at least 2-3 days’ complete relaxation during which healing will begin.

Now that we’ve taken care of the quick fixes, Let’s move on to some longer-term solutions that prevent future injuries:

Make a exercise routine(Keep feeding your stomach)

Don’t have any core exercises in your workout regimen? Start now! Do sit-ups ,burpees,push -ups etc., make sure not to overdo them, but start from scratch so gradually increase intensity This way abdominal muscles gets stronger in no time

Pace yourself!

Never suddenly increase intensity keep track of how much weight/speed/time spent trainings sessions increasing amount slowly allows body adapt without causing strain

Nutritional Care

Fueling our bodies with right nutrients is essential when trying repair damaged tissue especially protein rich foods e.g chicken breast tuna soybeans

Hydration!!!

Make sure drink plenty water before,during &after workouts . Water helps flush out toxins produced during exercise which helps avoid further damage

These options offer sustainable ways treating pulling inner core issues helping build firm strong tummy.
Remember HEAT Rather than ice treatment Painful Massages & NO rushing self recovery process allowing proper regeneration period> Lastly exercise& nutrition having been proven work wonders if given required effort!
