Muscle stretch

Stretching is a muscle or tendon injury in which muscle fibers break, crack or as a result of overuse. Typical symptoms of pulled muscles are localized pain, swelling, stiffness, appearance of local bruising.Extent of muscle fibers are the result of cracks overused muscles.May occur in performing daily activities and are not unique to athletes. People who are exposed to the development of sport through the use of excessive muscle stretching muscles.
A muscle stretching is called a muscle spasm, muscle cramps and is an indirect injury to a muscle through its fatigue and over. It can occur during any type of physical activity: running, climbing, extreme tension in the arms or legs.
The extent of muscle tension or lead to cracking or breaking extreme stretching muscles during exercise. Pain and spasms are caused by sustained contraction of muscle fibers. Not be followed by light stretching clinical repercussions. The Grade 2, 3 muscle fibers cause twisting or complete their ruprea, requiring medical evaluation and treatment.Muscle stretch without performing physical exercise may be occupational. Examples include the adoption of abnormal position in the workplace for long periods without breaks. Abnormal posture of the body cause chronic muscle stretching neck, shoulders and back, raising the possibility of long-term sequelae of soft tissues and joints of the spine.Muscle stretch muscles should not be confused with bruises that are caused by direct trauma on muscle and occur during contact sports.
Stretching the calf muscles (gastrocnemienii)Symptoms include stretching the calf muscle:Grade 1:-Localized pain in the back of the leg, below kneeWithout functional impotence of the foot--Stiffness and cramping in 2-5 days after injury.Grade 2:Sharp pain in the back of the calf--Outpatient pain-Swollen calfModerate-bruisingPain on flexion-plantStiffness and cramping, lasting one week.Grade 3:Immediate, severe painSudden calf pain-Impossibility of contracting muscleConsiderable swelling, bruising andIf a break-in it is seen protruding muscles.
Stretching adductors (groin)Adductors stretching is a common problem in people who practice sports: hockey, tennis, basketball, football, karate. Stretching hip adductors occurs when forced to perform a lateral move to the thigh.
Adductorii thigh muscle is a strong group. It consists of adductor Magnus, minimus, longus and brevis. Pectineus and gracilis muscles are included. All muscles are innervated by nerve adductori shutter without pectineus which is innervated by the femoral.Musculotendinoasa junction location is considered frequent muscle stretching. It is vulnerable to excessive application of force.
Inadequate treatment or adductors stretch before returning to sports injuries lead to chronic pain disappeared. Adductors stretching chronic symptoms present with diffuse pain and stiffness with accusations in the groin in the morning and initiated physical activity. Pain and stiffness usually resolves after a period of heating during exercise jump reappears.
Treatment of muscle stretchFirst-line treatment in acute muscle stretch includes four steps: rest, apply ice, compression and elevation local affected limb. Rest stops are not necessary physical activities, especially those that cause pain to prevent progression of lesions. Apply ice to reduce swelling by restricting blood flow to the lesion site. Do not apply ice for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. This applies a layer of paper towels to avoid thermal skin lesions. It will wrap in the buttocks area to reduce swelling. Hold the affected area raised above the heart to stop blood from stagnating.The immediate treatment is accompanied by administration of anti-inflammatory drugs to stop pain and inflammation. If the lesion is accompanied by severe pain medical examination is recommended, especially if the member can not be used or if they meet marked identify the sensitivity point. These may be signs of bone fractures, muscle sprains or complete rupture.Prognosis:The prognosis is excellent recovery after muscle stretch. Full improvement of pain and time needed to resume normal activities or sports depend on the initial degree of injury severity and patient cooperation regimen, physical therapy.
