	Muscle Strain
		A strain occurs when a muscle or the tendon that attaches it to the bone is overstretched or torn.
		Muscle strains usually occur during activities that require the muscle to tighten forcefully.
		The muscle is strained either because it is not properly stretched, or warmed up, before the activity; it is too weak; or because the muscle is already injured and not allowed time to recover.

	Muscle Strains in the Thigh
		Muscle strains usually happen when a muscle is stretched beyond its limit, tearing the muscle fibers.
		Muscle strains in the thigh can be quite painful, and may involve some bruising if blood vessels are also broken.
		Once a muscle strain occurs, the muscle is vulnerable to reinjury, so it's important to let the muscle heal properly and to follow preventive protocols.

	Calf Muscle Strain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		A calf strain is a ripping away of the inner portion of the muscle from its tendon attachment.
		Sometimes, a calf muscle strain is mistaken for a plantaris tendon rupture.
		The plantaris muscle and its tendon is a small muscle in the back of the leg which is a remnant of early man. Twenty percent of us do not have one, so it isn’t very vital to lower leg power. The plantaris tendon is approximately one one-hundredth the size of the Achilles tendon.

	Hamstring Muscle Strain
		The "hamstring" is actually a group of three muscles that help to straighten (extend) the leg at the hip and bend (flex) the leg at the knee.
		Muscle strains are overuse injuries that result when the muscle is stretched without being properly warmed up.
		The muscle may be tender to the touch, and it may be painful to stretch your leg.

	Sports Medicine Advisor 2005.2: Rhomboid Muscle Strain or Spasm
		A strain is an injury in which muscle fibers or tendons are stretched or torn.
		A muscle spasm is an involuntary contraction of the muscle.
		A rhomboid muscle strain or spasm is usually caused by overuse of your shoulder and arm, especially during overhead activities like serving a tennis ball or reaching to put objects on a high shelf.

	Hamstring Strain
		A hamstring strain or a pulled hamstring as it is sometimes called is a tear in one of the hamstrings muscles (Semitendinosus, Semimembranosus and Biceps femoris).
		Strains are graded 1, 2 or 3 depending on severity.
		A grade 2 would be a partial tear in the muscle and grade 3 is a severe or complete rupture of the muscle.

	Low back / muscle strain
		A muscle strain (or tear) in the back is usually caused by a sudden movement or trying to lift something that is too heavy.
		The low back pain however is often a long time coming on as the muscles in the back gradually tighten up due to bad posture and overuse.
		So when someone complains of low back pain when they bend down to pick up a piece of paper and tear a muscle in the back, it is not just the piece of paper that caused it but a gradual build up of tension over weeks and months.

	MUSCLE STRAIN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
		A muscle strain is also called a pulled muscle.
		Pulled muscles happen more easily when muscles are not stretched or warmed up before working out.
		You may not be able to move the area of your body where the hurt muscle is because of the pain and swelling.

	Groin Strain (Adductor muscle rupture)
		A groin strain is a tear or rupture to any one of the adductor muscles.
		There are five adductor muscles, the pectineus, adductor brevis and adductor longus (called short adductors which go from the pelvis to the thigh bone) and the gracilis and adductor magnus (long adductors which go from the pelvis to the knee).
		A lump or gap in the adductor muscles.

		Muscle strain or muscle pull or even a muscle tear implies damage to a muscle or its attaching tendons.
		Muscle damage can be in the form of tearing (part or all) of the muscle fibers and the tendons attached to it.
		The tearing of the muscle can also damage small blood vessels, causing local bleeding (bruising) and pain (caused by irritation of the nerve endings in the area).

	Muscle strain
		In addition to its positive affects on muscle relaxation, one of the greatest benefits of massage therapy is the release of endorphins, which can be quite helpful in managing chronic back pain.
		When the muscles in the back are strained or torn, inflammation in the back muscles can spasm and cause both severe lower back pain and difficulty moving.
		The spinal column and its contiguous muscles, ligaments and tendons are all designed to move, and limitations in this motion can accentuate pain, such as that from muscle strain.

	Muscle strain and low back pain
		The majority of episodes of acute lower back pain are caused by a muscular strain (such as from lifting a heavy object, a sudden movement or a fall).
		Fortunately, muscle strains usually heal with time (a couple of days or weeks) because muscles in the low back have a good blood supply to bring the necessary nutrients and proteins for healing to take place.
		While some of these muscles are used in everyday life, most do not get adequate exercise from daily activities and tend to weaken with age unless they are specifically exercised.

	Muscle strain
		Most muscle strains (pulled muscles) are caused by overstretching muscles.
		Strains may be minor or severe, such as a torn muscle or tendon.
		Recovery time for a muscle strain can vary, depending on a person's age and health and the type and severity of the strain.

	Muscle Strain
		A muscle strain (also called a pulled muscle) occurs when a muscle is suddenly pulled or twisted, causing a tiny tear.
		You may also not be able to move the area around the muscle very well because of the pain and swelling.
		To avoid strains and sprains, always warm up your muscles before you exercise Stretching them gently is one good warm-up technique.

	Prostatitis website -- Epidydimitis related to pelvic muscle strain
		Delay of diagnosis allows the joint to stay in a dysfunctional position, prolonging the attended stretch of supporting ligaments, muscles, and tendons.
		Presumably, chronic inflammation and possible adhesions within the joint may also be a factor in the chronic pain and prolonged impairment that may result.
		Further complicating the presentation, secondary trigger points within the gluteus medius, piriformis, and other pelvic muscles may exist as a consequence of the joint imbalances.
