Spring washers, sometimes called disc springs, are a subtype of washers. They lend their mechanical capabilities to the unique profile of the material: when subject to a load, the irregularities of the washer compress with a proportionate resistance to return to their predeflected shape.
You should never stretch a pulled muscle to the point of pain or you risk re-injuring it. Do not overstretch the pulled muscles. Too much stretching can retear injured muscle fibers. Gently stretching a pulled muscle may relax the surrounding muscle fibers, which may be tight in response to the injury.
2. Rest your injured muscles. Rest your pulled or strained oblique muscles as much as possible, especially during the first 72 hours after the injury. This will avoid further damaging the affected tissue and will give your body time to begin its natural healing process.
