Suggest Treatment To Relieve The Pain Caused Due To Pulled Muscle In Chest

I have a bad habit of sleeping on my stomach and I woke up the other day with what feels like pulled muscles in the area of my ribs (especially in my back). Is there anything I can do to fix this short of sleeping on my back from now on and waiting out the discomfort?
