For strains, pulled muscles; You need to apply ice right away to reduce swelling. I really wouldnt waste my time putting ice the next day if i havent done it right away.
I have strained my muscle before(im pretty sure it was a strain) and i had made a small research on it and found this for the icing part...

ice it immediately so you can reduce the swelling. Wrap ice in a clothing and avoid using ice directly on the skin. Apply ice for 10-15 minutes every one hour for the first day and then every three to four hours. Use ice for the first 3 days. After that, heat or ice may be helpful.


Other then that,
-You will need to rest the pulled muscle for at least one day, more is better.
-While the pulled muscle is in pain, avoid using your pulled muscle, and when the pain is gone, go ahead and start activity slowly and in moderation.
-If your able to keep the strained muscle elevated, that would be great(but i dont think chris_Ryan can do that, he pulled it in his back)

Anyhow, just sleep on it. It will take a while but it works better than anything. Ice works for a little while but its definitly not worth carrying around. Don't listen to any of that massage(sp?) crap. It feels good for about a hour but afterwards it feels like someone hit you in the arm with a baseball bat.
