What Is a Muscle Strain?

A muscle strain occurs when the muscle fibers are stretched or torn due to excessive force or overuse. This can happen suddenly during activity or develop gradually from repetitive motion and poor posture. Common causes include:

• Lifting heavy objects improperly
• Sudden twisting or reaching movements
• Overuse during exercise or work
• Weak or imbalanced muscles
• Poor posture and spinal misalignment

Muscle strains can vary in severity from mild tightness and soreness to severe pain, swelling, and limited movement.

What Are Common Symptoms of Muscle Strain?

• Sharp or aching pain at the injury site
• Muscle spasms or tightness
• Swelling or bruising
• Stiffness and reduced mobility
• Pain that worsens with movement

If left untreated, strained muscles can lead to chronic pain, compensatory movement patterns, and even further injury.
