What are Muscle Tears?
Effective Muscle Tear Treatment At Our Oxford Circus Clinic
At Fit2Function, we offer personalised treatment for muscle tears and strains that goes beyond just rest and ice. After a thorough assessment, we create a structured rehabilitation plan that reduces pain, restores function and prevents reinjury. Our approach combines manual therapy, laser therapy, shockwave therapy, ems therapy, infrared cupping, progressive strength training and mobility work. Every treatment plan is tailored to the severity and location of the injury, as well as your goals, whether that’s returning to sport, exercise or daily function. Unlike generic rehab programmes, we closely track your progress and adjust as needed. With years of experience treating both athletes and non athletes, our Oxford Circus clinic is trusted for its evidence based, hands on care and commitment to long-term results.
What Are The Common Causes Of Muscle Tears & Strains
Muscle tears and strains are typically caused by sudden movements, overloading or fatigue. Common causes include sprinting, jumping, lifting heavy weights or overstretching a muscle during activity. Strains often occur in muscles that cross two joints, such as hamstrings, calves or the lower back. Poor warm ups, muscle imbalances, tightness or lack of flexibility can increase the risk of injury. In some cases, repeated overuse or returning to sport too soon after a previous injury leads to a strain. At Fit2Function Oxford Circus, we assess not just the injury itself, but the movement patterns and training habits that may have contributed, helping you recover smarter and stay injury free in the future.

Muscle Tears & Strains FAQs
What exactly is a muscle tear or strain?
A muscle strain (or tear) occurs when muscle fibres are overstretched or damaged due to excessive force. Strains are graded from mild (Grade 1) to severe (Grade 3), depending on the level of damage.
How can I tell if my injury is a muscle tear or just a minor strain?
Mild strains cause soreness and tightness, while tears usually involve sharper pain, swelling, bruising and weakness. A thorough clinical assessment is the best way to confirm the extent of your injury.
How long does it typically take to recover from a muscle tear?
Recovery times vary by severity. Mild strains may heal within 1-2 weeks, moderate tears may take 4-6 weeks, and severe tears may require several months of rehab.
Can I still exercise if I have a muscle strain?
In most cases yes, but exercise should be modified and guided by a professional. We help you stay active safely while avoiding further damage.
What should I do immediately after injuring a muscle?
Apply ice, rest the area and avoid aggravating movements. Seek a professional assessment as soon as possible so treatment and rehab can as early as possible
How can I prevent muscle tears in the future?
A thorough warm-up, strength training and flexibility work can all reduce your risk. We’ll assess your movement and give you a tailored injury prevention plan.
