What actually causes muscle tears?
The most common way a muscle can be injured is motions, simply doing housework can cause a tear. But there are other ways as well including:
Falls: A fall can cause muscle damage upon landing. A severe contusion or bruise can occur when blood vessels burst upon impact.
Slips: Acute muscle tear often occurs in the back or legs when a person slips as the body is twisted or stretched to a greater than normal degree.
Collisions: When the tissue is struck with force or heavy or hard objects is can be ruptured.
They may be caused by blows from moving objects.
Cuts: Cuts that are deep enough to wound or tear muscle tissue can be caused by accidental injury.
Weight and force stress: Damage can occur when lifting too heavy a weight or using a muscle beyond it's capacity, for example: overstretching during a reach or jump.
Repetitive stress: Develops when a muscle is used for the same movements very frequently in a day or continually over time.
