depends on the source of pain. Stretching can help if it's related to tightness and mild muscle strain

@SW-User everyone is saying heat but be cautious in using any heat source. Don't place direct heat sources on your skin...use a towel or other barrier. Also, don't use for more than 15 mins-20 mins at a time. You'll also want to use caution with the use of heat with acute muscle strain...sometimes cold therapy works better to reduce inflammation.
