Muscle Injuries

​Muscles are amazing! They allow us to move, lift, run, and everything in between. They're essentially bundles of elastic fibers that contract and relax. A muscle injury, often called a "strain" or a "tear," occurs when these fibers are stretched beyond their capacity or are subjected to a sudden, forceful contraction.

​

Muscle injuries can range from a Grade 1 (Mild Strain) where only a few muscle fibers are damaged to a Grade 3 (Severe Tear/Rupture) where the muscle is completely or almost completely torn. 

​

Simply resting does not adequately prepare the muscle to return to full capacity and beyond. And people often develop compensatory patterns that may expose them to risk of secondary injuries.
