Muscle Strains

Have you ‘Pulled’ or ‘Strained’ a Muscle recently?
Let us help get it sorted here at The Physio & Sports Injury Clinic in Rhos on Sea without the need for taking lots of Anti-inflammatory medications & pain killers.

A pulled muscle or tendon refers to localised damage to a soft tissue structure when sudden tension has been applied to it. This can cause either an overstretch or a tear. A ‘pull’ to a muscle/tendon is called a Strain, but a pulled ligament is called a Sprain!

Muscle strains are an incredibly common injury and can easily be done. They are often caused by lack of flexibility from: not warming up enough or from doing too much physical activity e.g. lifting or running.

Does This Sound Like You?

  • You’ve hurt yourself and are ignoring the pain whilst trying to continue.

  • Bruising or swelling has appeared in the area of injury?

  • Moving the injury area hurts.

  • Have you taken ibuprofen and its not helping?

  • You’ve tried rest, but as soon as you go back to activity it comes back again.

  • You’ve tried self-diagnosing the problem on Google, which just worries you more.

CAN YOU RELATE?

The good news is that Muscle Strains can easily be treated with a good course of Physiotherapy Treatment. Therefore the quicker you seek professional Physio help after injury, the faster you will get better - allowing you to get back doing what you love again. Normally physio treatment can begin around 48hours* after a strain (*on average).

If you are suffering with Muscle or tendon strain and don’t know what to do, we would love to help by inviting you to get in touch and speak directly with our Physiotherapist - Oliver. He will speak with you for FREE to see what can be done to help & give you some helpful advice straight away.
