because you have stretched the muscle beyond its limit causing sharp pain.
According to Mayo Clinic, muscle strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon (the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones). Muscle strain can cause discomfort and/or difficulty in movement. Symptoms may
include:
– Muscle Weakness: This would be the lack of strength in your muscles. If you suffer from lifting minor items over 5lbs. Our PTs can help diagnose and help you recover.
– Limited Range of Motion: This maybe overuse of a certain repetitive motion, or inability to reach for objects. Inhibiting your daily life.
– Muscle pain or tenderness: Find yourself where a certain area of your body feels more tender to the touch? This could be a cause of both tension and stress.
– Swelling in the pain area – excess fluid trapped in the body’s tissues resulting in puffiness.
– Muscle Spasms – Involuntary contractions of a muscle.
Common causes that lead to acute muscle strain are:
– Improper or no warm-ups before exercise
– Poor body mechanics – the way we move in our daily lives
– Lifting a heavy item
Chronic muscle strain can occur by stressing an injured muscle by doing the same motion over and over. If you are experiencing muscle strains from any of your daily activities or workout routines contact your
