Muscle Pull
A muscle pull, also known as a muscle strain or muscle tear, refers to an injury involving the stretching or tearing of muscle fibres and adjacent tissues. This type of injury commonly occurs during physical activity or sports, particularly when muscles are overstretched or overloaded beyond their capacity. At Power Physio Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating muscle pulls to facilitate optimal recovery and prevent complications.
Symptoms of Muscle Pull
- Pain: Sudden onset of pain at the site of injury
- Swelling: Localized swelling or bruising
- Muscle Spasm: Involuntary muscle contractions or spasms
- Decreased Range of Motion: Difficulty moving the affected part
- Weakness: Reduced strength or inability to bear weight
How Muscle Pulls Happen
• Sudden Movement: Rapid or forceful movements that stretch the muscle beyond its normal range of motion.
• Overexertion: Intense physical activity, especially without proper warm-up or conditioning.
• Fatigue: Muscles that are tired or weakened are more prone to injury.
• Poor Flexibility: Inadequate stretching or flexibility can lead to increased risk of muscle pulls.
