The Sports Injury Series Part 2 - Soft Tissue Strains: Quads, Hamstrings & Calves

In Part 2 of our Sports Injury Series, Ethan and Zoe take a closer look at soft tissue injuries, focusing on some of the most commonly strained muscles in the lower limb—the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves.We break down what it actually means to “strain” a muscle, how different grades of strain are classified, and what that means for severity, prognosis, and expected recovery timeframes. We also tackle some of the persistent myths around soft tissue injuries, including whether you should stretch, rest, or push through the pain.If you’ve ever torn, tweaked, or pulled a muscle—or worked with people who have—this episode will help you better understand the science of strains and how to guide recovery safely and effectively.Follow us on social media:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.movementtherapy.net.au/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/movementtherapyaus/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://au.linkedin.com/company/movement-therapyaus
