Muscle Building Routine

Muscle tears are quite common, specifically in the sports population. Muscle tears occur very quickly on exertion or due to fast deceleration and can result in an extremely sudden and severe pain. The most typical area to get a muscle strain is in the hamstrings (back of your thigh) or the gastrocnemius (lower leg). It’s imperative when you have a muscle strain that you seek assessment as well as treatment from a experienced Physio to aid the recovery of the injured fibres. It’s also advisable to start the RICE rule - Rest, Ice, Compression and also Elevation to help reduce swelling and prevent further damage.
