Muscle strains, often resulting from overexertion, sudden movements, or inadequate warm-up, can cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility, affecting daily activities and quality of life. Physical therapy offers a comprehensive approach to managing muscle strains, focusing on relieving pain, promoting healing, and restoring optimal function.

At UCC Physio, our team of Practitioners conduct a thorough assessment to determine the extent of the muscle strain and identify contributing factors such as muscle imbalances or improper biomechanics. Based on this evaluation, personalized treatment plans are developed to address the specific needs and goals of the individual. Treatment for muscle strains may include a combination of therapeutic exercises to strengthen the injured muscle, improve flexibility, and restore normal movement patterns. Manual therapy techniques, such as soft tissue mobilization and joint mobilizations, are often used to reduce pain, inflammation, and muscle tension.
