What is a muscle strain?

Your muscles are responsible for all of the movements of your body. A muscle strain, more commonly called a “pulled” or “torn” muscle, is an injury where the muscle actually tears or rips. Usually, a muscle tear is unpredictable and it happens when the muscle is worked or stretched too fast. Most often it occurs while the muscle is working, such as when running, working, or playing a sport. When the muscle tears, it usually hurts and causes pain and inability to continue the activity.

How do muscles make your body move?

A severe strain is a complete rupture of the muscle, which is usually accompanied by a “snap.” The injured person will not be able to continue activity or use the muscle at all. A grade III strain usually is accompanied by significant pain when it happens, and the individual is usually not able to continue participating in the activity. The site of injury may become swollen and a bruised may result from bleeding of the torn muscle. Once the swelling goes down, there will be an obvious gap in the muscle when one feels along the muscle.
