It usually affects the larger leg muscles such as the hamstrings, quads and calf muscles or the lower back. The symptoms include pain, swelling, bruising and weakness depending on the severity and can be graded one, two or three.<\/p>\n

What can Petersfield Physio do to help Pulled or Torn Muscles?<\/u><\/p>\n

As with sprained joints<\/a><\/strong>,<\/em> and ligament injuries<\/a><\/strong> we recommend the RICE regime \u2013 rest, ice, compression and elevation. We can also use ultrasound and interferential to improve circulation and speed up the healing process and K tape to support the damaged muscle. Soft tissue massage and stretches help to minimise scar tissue and ensure the muscle doesn\u2019t shorten while strengthening exercises will restore full function and strength to the muscle.
