Muscle injuries occur when a muscle is unable to stretch any further under load causing it to tear. Muscle injuries can also be related to a sudden blow or repetitive loading. The severity of muscular injuries varies and as a result the timeframe and rehabilitation process also varies. Tear injuries are generally categorised into 3 categories:
· Grade 1 (Mild)
· Grade 2 (Moderate)
· Grade 3 (Severe)
Our physiotherapists are experts in diagnosing muscular related injuries and setting realistic management plans and strengthening programs.
Physiotherapy is beneficial and can:
· Reduce initial pain and swelling
· Get you back on your feet faster
· Address any potential biomechanical deficits
· Address neuromuscular insufficiencies
· Restore and improve strength and power
Having worked at the highest levels of sport, we understand that one of the biggest risk factors of a muscle strain is a previous muscle strain. Our physiotherapists will strive to make sure that once you have an injury that you will not sustain another one in the future.
