Muscle Strains

When muscles get to the point of exhaustion or they lack flexibility and are further tested, it often results in a strain.  These strains usually occur at the part of the muscle that meets the bone called the tendon.

The pain that people feel when they have a strain is the result of small tears in the tendon or muscle.  Often times rest is an effective means of treatment to encourage the healing of the torn muscle fibers, however, if you'd like to speed up your recovery time you can also use soft tissue therapies such as these:

• Ultrasound
• Cold Laser
• Kinesio taping
• Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Technique
