Muscle is a very active metabolic tissue and is frequently injured in sport. The injury heals predominantly by scar tissue which leaves a persistent abnormality within the muscle. Prompt treatment and appropriate rehabilitation can minimize the degree of muscle damage and reduce the incidence of later complications.
