What is a fiber bursting?

A muscle consists of hundreds of long fibers. If one or more fibers in the muscle rupture, a fiber rupture occurs, also called a stretch injury. The injury most commonly occurs in the back thigh, but can also take place in the calf, back, groin, arm, shoulder or hip.

Why do you get fiber bursting?

A fiber rupture can occur when embarking on intense physical activity without sufficient warm-up. For example, if you immediately go out and kick a soccer ball, throw a handball, sprint at the beginning of a run or lift heavily during strength training. A cold muscle will not be able to cope with the sudden and intense load.

By warming up your muscles before exercise, you will experience increased flexibility in the joints and muscles, making it easier to perform the activity. If you experience a fiber burst during activities such as running or others where moderate force is used for an extended period of time, this can often result in a superficial fiber burst. In such cases, massage against fiber bursting can be an effective solution. We promote recovery and you will feel relief after treatment.

Muscles are trained to withstand a certain training load depending on their level of training. If the training load exceeds this level within a given period of time, the muscle cannot cope with the load, typically resulting in an overload injury or fiber rupture.

What to do if you get a fiber fracture

For the first 48 hours, the muscle should have rest and avoid movement as much as possible. Below you can see the so-called RICE principle, which you must act on for the first 48 hours after the damage has been done.

After the first 48 hours, you can begin with a gentle massage against fiber bursting. We start gradually with the massage to increase blood flow to the muscle, add nourishment and excrete waste substances. We perform careful stretches in which we stretch the muscle gently, without reaching or exceeding the pain threshold. Our goal is to add some movement to the injured muscle without overloading it, as the muscle is still in a phase of recovery and reconstruction. At the beginning of the course of treatment, the muscle may feel stiff and hard, and the stretching will be limited. In most cases, you will see an improvement in flexibility after the first week.

Prompt treatment of the injury can decrease or even eliminate swelling. However, it is important to give the muscle enough time to heal. However, you don't necessarily have to spend several days on the couch instead of exercising. On the contrary, it is advantageous to gradually resume training gently.
