  It does not take a tear in the tendons to define a muscle injury.  Muscle strain or muscle stress is one of the very common muscle injuries that could happen to anyone. Holding any one muscle at a particular position for an extensive time will indeed risk you to having muscle injuries.  A simple act of carrying your backpack to school everyday would be good enough to start the journey of muscle injuries. This continuous act would tire and strain the shoulder muscles.

  Even slouching for long periods of time would cause the neck muscles to work harder in order to support the weight of the head. This act narrows down the space where the rotator cuff tendons pass through in the shoulder joint thus straining the muscles between the shoulder blades.

  Muscle sprain usually occurs when the muscles are excessively pulled. Usually this occurs when the muscles are torn or damaged. This happens when extreme force is implied to the shoulder joints. Athletes are the common victims of muscle sprains. Baseball, tennis, basketball and weight lifting enthusiasts, just to name a few are those who would have a higher risk in suffering from this type of muscle injury. Repeated actions would cause repeated sprains in the same joint thus causing the joint to be less stable and more prone to future sprains.

  A rotator cuff tear is a form of muscle injury. This happens when one or more of the four muscles that form a covering around the humerus are torn. Most tears occurred are due to overused muscles and tendons over a period of years. Rotator cuff tear is a common cause of shoulder pain amongst adults, usually affecting people over the age of forty.
