A muscle strain, or pulled muscle, occurs when your muscle is overstretched or torn. Strains can happen in any muscle, but they’re most common in your lower back, neck, shoulder, and the hamstring.

It's important to move around as soon as possible after surgery and follow your doctor's advice on getting active again. This will encourage your blood to flow and your wounds to heal, and will build up strength in your muscles.

Muscular Dysfunction occurs when a muscle has been strained and not treated at the time. This type of problem is called chronic and takes time to improve. Areas of hard compacted tissue can be left with in the muscle, where the fibres have been bound together and are unable to glide freely.

Our approach towards recover after an injury focuses on the healing process, applying techiniques to help restore full a full range of motion and function, regaining normal gait, regaining muscle strength and finally regaining endurance through the use of the previously affected area.
