Hello,

It seems that you have developed an abdominal muscle strain. It may have been caused because of excessive strain on the abdominal muscles due to the planks you have performed. I would advise you to apply ice pack on the affected area to reduce the inflammation.

Also, alternate it with applying heat to help in muscle relaxation. Take an over the counter painkiller like Advil or Naproxen drug to reduce pain and inflammation.

After you recover from the pain you can perform abdominal muscle strengthening exercises like curl-ups and pelvic tilts which are good muscle therapies. If the pain is not relieved or increases in severity, get yourself checked by a physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nazma Amman
