What actually is a muscle strain?
A muscle strain is where muscle fibres are stretched or pushed beyond their capacity. This leads to tearing of the muscle fibres. These tears/strains can be classified into 3 grades.
Grade 1: This is where a very minimal amount of your muscle fibres have been torn.
Grade 2: This is where approximately 50% of your muscle fibres are torn
Grade3: Greater than 50% or a complete tear of your muscle fibres.
What actually is a muscle contusion?
A contusion is what is commonly referred to as a “cork”. This is a deep bruise to your muscle fibres caused by internal bleeding of its blood supply. This is most commonly caused by a direct trauma to the area. It usually leads to loss of motion and can affect your ability to move.
