-Injury in Sports (Part 1)-

Muscle Pull

This injury can happen in any part of muscle in the body. No matter how you warm up and stretch, you may pull a muscle from sprain, overuse, fatigue or taking a fall. To prevent muscle pull, stretch prior to any vigorous activity and work for your muscles. Start with a slow activity then follow through with more heavy one.

Muscle pulls when a sudden force is applied to the muscle and the fibers are stretched more then the beyond ability. If there are some of the fibers tear, it is muscle pull. If most of the fibers tear, it is muscle tear.

Muscle Pull Treatment

Rest and apply ice to the injury area. Ice for the muscle to relax and relieves any spasm. Duration for the ice to apply between 15 to 20 minutes. Then, you can do the treatment at least 3 times a day.
