It depends on the severity of the strain, but some light stretching should be beneficial at this point. Work your way up to deeper stretches and myofascial release as it allows. It would also be a good idea to lay off any pressing movements until it improves.

Some light dumbbell work using full rom has helped me.
Also do some research on the trigger points that can cause pain in the area and get to work on them.
