What is the most effective treatment for a pulled muscle?

There is no medicine for it but you could try putting a cold clothe (soaked in cold water) to stop the swelling or bruise and apply to sore arrea if you have that or you could put a hot clothe (soaked in hot water) to calm it down on sore arrea.
