It\u2019s important to follow the R (rest) I (ice) C (compression) E (elevation) treatment protocol immediately after a torn muscle injury. Using the\u00a0Photizo Sport<\/strong>\u00a0after the initial\u00a0R.I.C.E.<\/strong>\u00a0treatment will help to accelerate healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the benefits of using the Photizo Sport <\/strong>include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Reduces inflammation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Increases blood circulation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Boosts endorphin production<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Blocks pain transmitting chemicals<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Eases pain<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Non-invasive<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pain-free<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Simple to operate<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Safe<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Muscle tear<\/strong> is damage to a muscle or its attaching tendons that occurs due to pressure to muscles. Torn muscles most often occur in the hamstrings, shoulders, neck, calves, and lower back but are not limited to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although, most sports injuries<\/strong> happen because of accidents, there are other reasons as well. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Lack of warm up and stretching before exercise<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Improper use of equipment in sports or exercise<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Overdoing or exerting oneself or overuse from repetition \u2013 such as with racquet sports<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Lack of training or improper training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      These injuries can affect any part of the body; however, it is mostly referred to in case of injuries which affect the bones, muscles, or adjoining ligaments and tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Among the common injuries are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Muscle strain in leg<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • A torn muscle in back<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • A torn muscle in the shoulder<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Torn hip flexor<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Calf muscle<\/strong> strain<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Hamstring<\/strong> tear<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Abdominal<\/strong> muscle strain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Just like most injuries, torn muscles can be categorised into mild, moderate, and severe. This depends on the severity of the injury of the muscle fibres, mild affecting 5% or less of the muscle\u2019s fibres, moderate around 30%, and with such symptoms as pain, swelling, and decreased range of motions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
