A strain is a twist, pull and/or tear of a muscle and/or tendon. Tendons are fibrous cords of tissue that attach muscles to bone. Strains and sprains are among the most common sports injuries.
And in some cases older people can form tendonitis after bracing themselves during a fall, which triggers inflammation in the joints or tendons. Because tendons are chords of âfibrousâ tissue, really any type of stressful movement or internal infection or cause of swelling can strain them to the point of injury.
