Muscle Strain

Muscle strain is an injury where muscle fibres tear due to overstretching or excessive force. Symptoms include pain, swelling, and limited movement. Treatment often involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Severe cases of muscle strain may require physiotherapy or surgery. Effective prevention includes proper warm-ups and strength training exercises.
