That was 5 months ago my muscle still hurts when I set to long or when I roll over on it in bed.
What can I do to help it get better? Written by Zenia Wood. Injury Mechanism Before determining a course of action post-injury, we must first understand the injury mechanism: Muscle tears occur when the force applied to the tissue generates greater stress or strain than the tissue can withstand.
Classifying Muscle Strains Below is the well-known muscle strain classification system. Addressing Risk Factors It is important to note that one single eccentric contraction, with enough rapid strain, can be enough to cause a mechanically-induced muscle tear, independent of other factors.
Muscles that are inherently more susceptible to tears are 8 : Biarticular muscles crossing two joints Muscles contracting eccentrically Muscles with a higher percentage of fast twitch Type II fibers Modifiable factors that play a role in the occurrence of muscle strains include 8 : Inadequate warm-up Prior injury to the muscle or its associated joints impeding typical movement patterns Insufficient range of motion or flexibility Weak or fatigued muscles Poor recovery nutrition, hydration, sleep Reduced vascular perfusion due to disease Conclusion Muscle strains can seem simple to rehab at first.
