The Go-To Guide On How To Identify, Prevent, And Treat A Pulled Muscle

Prevention: Flexibility

Before stretching or practicing flexibility training, it is helpful to engage in resistance training. This involves preparing the muscles for further exercise and making them resistant to stress. The ideal way to do so is by getting the blood in the body flowing. Simple cardio exercises or power walking are often sufficient. Once the muscles are prepared, which means that they are warm and elastic, engage in activities that improve flexibility and help to prevent potential injuries. Practicing yoga, especially under the guidance of a trained instructor, is an excellent way to improve flexibility.
