Limit aerobic exercise because most types of running, cycling and swimming can irritate your chest muscles, which can increase the chest ligament.
Ice: Apply ice packs to the chest ligament for a few hours every 15 minutes to reduce swelling. Be sure to put a thick cloth around the ice so that it does not touch the skin directly.
Compression: A simple compression wrap around the chest provides support to help reduce swelling and reduce pain. Use a four-inch wide package and have a friend help to wrap it around the chest muscles.
Raise: Normally, you need to raise the uninjured area to minimize blood flow and thus reduce swelling. This can be tricky for chest muscle ligaments. Try to lie on the uninjured side, the chest muscles are tense and higher than the other chest muscles.
