I say to many of my clients ANY movement is good movement. This is difficult to qualify sometimes as there are certain individuals whom take that as Carte Blanche to get straight back into full blown, high intensity full load of training. However for most people trying to get the body out of pain and into feeling normal is difficult if they haven’t already had an active movement based regime in place already. For these sorts of people MOVEMENT IS VITAL. To move is to have blood flowing into areas and to keep elasticity of the all important muscles, tendons and fascia (soft tissues) at some sort of measurable level of operation.

A rupture is the big Daddy, the Nebuchanezzer of the muscular strain. Whereas a strain is a section of the muscular fibres (say a bicep) that have been torn or frayed, a rupture is a majority disconnection of the entire muscle from its tendinous connection. Usually, the ‘rupture’ is actually occurring not within the muscle itself but in the tendon that attaches the muscle to its bony connections. By definition, a rupture is ‘to burst, break through or split under pressure’. In the case of a tendon a rupture is defined by the muscle being unable to perform it's action. The rupture can be partial or complete, both requiring surgery to ‘re-attach’ the torn tendon.
