A muscle strain or pulled muscle is the stretching or tearing of the fibres which make up the muscle. Most muscle strains occur in one of three ways

1. The muscle has been overstretched beyond its limits

2. It has been forced to contract too strongly

3. It has been used repetitively for too long i.e. doing too much too soon

In mild cases, only a few muscle fibres are stretched or torn, and the muscle remains intact and strong. In severe cases, however, the strained muscle may be torn and unable to function properly

A physiotherapist can assess the strain and provide an effective treatment plan to help with recovery. They can also advise on how to prevent future injuries.

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, occurs when ligaments around the shoulder joint swell and become stiff.

Pain and stiffness are the two main symptoms of frozen shoulder, which can vary from being mild to severe enough that you may not be able to move your shoulder.
