A muscle sprain occurs when ligaments—the strong connective tissues stabilizing joints—are overstretched or torn due to sudden twists, falls, or impact. Common in the ankle, knee, and wrist, sprains cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. Early physiotherapy intervention promotes faster healing, prevents recurrence, and restores full strength and mobility.
Causes of Muscle Sprain:
- Sudden twisting or impact on a joint
- Overstretching during sports or daily activities
- Falling on an outstretched limb
- Walking or running on uneven surfaces
- Poor warm-up or fatigue during exercise
Symptoms of Muscle Sprain:
- Sharp pain at the affected joint
- Swelling and tenderness
- Bruising or skin discoloration
- Reduced range of motion
- Joint instability or weakness
