Compress
Compression can alleviate inflammation and swell around your pulled string, which would eventually speed up healing. You can easily do this by wrapping an athletic tape or compression bandage around the thigh. Start above the knee and move upwards to the groin. When you circle around the leg, make sure that new layers should overlap a half of the previous one. Check the bandage so that it is snug. Wrapping too tight can cut off blood circulation, while wrapping too loose will not provide the expected results. You can easily purchase compression bandages at most drugstores. Some possible alternatives include a thigh brace or compression shorts. [2]
