Muscle Injury Treatment

What is Muscle Injury Treatment?

Muscle injuries can occur due to overuse, strain, sports activities, or accidents. Our specialized muscle injury treatment helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery using physiotherapy techniques, manual therapy, and rehabilitation exercises.

Common Types of Muscle Injuries

Muscle injuries vary in severity and type, including:

  • Strains

    Overstretching or tearing of muscle fibers.

  • Sprains

    Damage to ligaments connecting bones.

  • Tears

    Partial or complete rupture of muscle fibers.

  • Contusions (Bruises)

    Impact injuries leading to muscle damage.

Symptoms of a Muscle Injury

If you experience any of these symptoms, you may need professional treatment:

  • Sharp pain during movement
  • Swelling or bruising
  • Stiffness and reduced flexibility
  • Muscle weakness
  • Difficulty using the affected muscle

  • Massage Therapy

    Helps relax muscles and improve blood flow.

  • Electrotherapy

    Provides support to injured muscles.

Stages of Muscle Injury Recovery

  1. Acute Phase (0-72 hours): Rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) to reduce swelling.

  3. Rehabilitation Phase (2-6 weeks): Strength and flexibility exercises to restore function.
  4. Return to Activity (6+ weeks): Gradual return to sports or daily activities.
