Stop letting muscle injuries slow you down. At Kent Chiro-Med Wellness Clinic in Ottawa, our physical therapist team provides expert muscle strain treatment that accelerates healing of your strained muscle and gets you back to full function – fast. Whether you pull a muscle during sports or daily activities, our comprehensive approach ensures proper treatment for optimal recovery.
A muscle strain occurs when muscle tissue becomes overstretched or torn. Sprains and strains are common injuries affecting the muscle or tendon connection. When you tear a muscle or overstretch a muscle or tendon, the muscle fibers sustain damage requiring specialized muscle strain treatment.
This can happen during sudden movements, overexertion, or when muscles are tight and unprepared for activity. Muscle strains range from mild muscle overstretching to complete muscle tears.
Understanding the causes of your muscle strain helps our Ottawa physiotherapy and chiropractic team develop the most effective treatment and prevention strategy.

Our treatment decisions are made by licensed healthcare professionals, not business managers. Your muscle recovery comes first.
See your doctor or physical therapist if you experience severe injuries, symptoms persist beyond a few days, or you cannot recover from a pulled muscle with basic home care. Severe strains and complete muscle tears need treatment from qualified professionals.
Recovery time depends on the grade of strain. Grade 1 strains typically heal in 1-2 weeks, Grade 2 strains in 3-6 weeks, and Grade 3 strains may require 6-12 weeks with our advanced treatment approach.
