MUSCLE STRAIN

Muscle strain is an injury that occurs when a muscle is stretched or torn. It is typically caused by overuse, heavy lifting, or sudden movements. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and limited range of motion. Strains can vary in severity, from mild discomfort to severe tears. Treatment often includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.), along with stretching and strengthening exercises as it heals.

HOW TO PREVENT MUSCLE STRAIN

Muscle strain happens when muscle fibers are overstretched or torn due to sudden movement, heavy lifting, overuse, or poor posture. It causes pain, swelling, stiffness, and weakness. Following these steps can help prevent muscle strain.

1. Warm Up Before Exercise

  • Always do light stretching and warm-up exercises before physical activity.

2. Stretch Regularly

  • Daily stretching keeps muscles flexible and reduces injury risk.

3. Maintain Proper Posture

  • Sit and stand straight to avoid unnecessary muscle stress.

4. Lift Heavy Objects Correctly

  • Bend your knees, not your back. Avoid sudden twisting.

5. Increase Activity Gradually

  • Do not suddenly increase workout intensity or duration.
