Injury: Side Strain
What is a Side Strain?
A side strain occurs when there is a tear on the outer muscle of the abdominals, which is known as the
oblique
. There is an internal and external portion of the oblique that can be affected with a side strain. Depending on which part is injured will determine the severity and extent of the strain. The key to recovering from a side strain is time, and you can speed up this process by following the
R.I.C.E.
principles.
