Initial treatment of hip muscle strain consists of rest and ice along with pain medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen. If the pain is severe, you may need crutches to take weight off the area. After swelling improves, usually in several days, you can begin gentle stretches, using heat and ice as needed. Rehabilitation after hip muscle strain involves strengthening and stretching the muscles, improving endurance, and training before returning to any physical activity.
