Pulled Back Muscle Help

[Karlito]

Stupid of me ...I felt it was too tight when I started doing Squats this morning....and I managed to pull the erector muscles in the middle of my back around my spine.....

Ice goes on first, heat the rest of the day? I've forgotten the effective treatment?

Ice therapy for soft tissue injury (R.I.C.E.) This should be applied for the first 24 to 48 hours after injury, although ice can also be beneficial in the later stages of treatment.

In the first 24 hours you should not:
Apply heat
Apply a heat rub
Have a deep massage.
