“Why is This Happening to Me?” or “Why Am I Still Suffering With a muscle strain or tear After Putting Up With It For 6 Months (Maybe More)?"
Most people think that when they get a muscle strain or tear, it’s just going to go away on it’s own.
That they’ll wake up one morning and like “magic”, it’ll be as if the muscle strain or tear never happened… But then 6 months later you’re still living with a muscle strain or tear – often even worse than it was when it came on.
what can cause a Muscle strain or tear?
Muscle strains can be caused by many things, such as falls, sudden twisting or moving, heavy trauma to a muscle, excess weight placed on the muscles or repetitive movement that places additional stress on the muscles than usual.
Additionally, muscle strains and tears can also occur as a result of exercise, and you are more susceptible to this kind of injury if you have existing tight muscle structures or have already strained a muscle in the past.
You’re more likely to sustain a muscle strain or tear if you fail to warm up properly before activity or if you have tight or weak muscles, which are not able to support your body as efficiently as possible.
