It all depends if you have a sprain or a strain. What muscle group and the magnitude and nature of the injured region. Only upon examination could I answer your question.
A pulled back muscle is a vague description not a diagnosis. It's hard for me to answer your question correctly. Can you give additional information or schedule an examination so I can give you the best answer?
Massage therapy can help relieve the pain symptoms temporarily. In order to avoid pulled muscles in the future, participate in exercise that strengthens those and your core muscles.
Yes. It is safe and probably beneficial to massage a pulled-back muscle. Best to use light to moderate pressure rather than deep hard massage. You could also benefit from heat or salt bath therapy as well.
You can massage it but a pulled muscle means it's at least a little torn so if you think it's getting any worse at all seek medical attention.
Yes, strained muscles respond well to Cold lasers and Massage. They also respond well to vibration.
Yes....see a licensed massage therapist for it...they do wonders.
Yes. You can massage a pulled back muscle but it would be more effective if you were evaluated and treated by a chiropractic kinesiologist first. If your back is tight because you have tight hamstrings and your hamstrings are pulling on your pelvis to the point of misalignment then massaging the muscle will only get you so far until you realign the pelvis.
Yes it helps lengthen the shorten muscle fibers. The pain you feel comes from knots in your back and the only way to get rid of it is pressure from the massage.
