Quad strain/pull advice HELP!

Hello,

30M about 5’9 195lbs.

I have a recurring injury that happens once every 1-2 years where I seem to get a rather mild quad strain. Minor swelling and tightness and aching/dull pain in my quad that becomes sharp if I bend too fast. It basically feels like a baseball hit me in the quad. Usually this goes away in 3-5 days.

I restrained-pulled my quad this evening less than an hour ago. There is little to no visible swelling and no bruising. I can walk at about 95% and it mainly hurts if I lift my leg bent backwards.

The problem is, I am traveling to Japan from Canada, for 2 weeks starting Thursday afternoon, including a 13 hour flight there and 12 hour flight back at the end of the month.

What steps can I do to improve my strained thigh.

I do not want to cancel this trip over such a mild injury that has been relatively easily dealt with in the past.

Any advice appreciated.
