This depends on what symptoms you have: pain, numbness, tightness, weakness, contracture, etc. Any one of these indicates injuries with palpable tenderness due to strained muscle/fascia. Then treatment is required, focusing on soft tissue release via light touch to initiate self-healing but not by any other means. Stretching/strengthening should not be applied to an injured muscle.
