Strains vs Sprains

In a collaborative effort with Scott over at Straight to the Bar, we we will be writing all about injuries for the month of November. You can expect a new article on the matter every week.

This week, Scott describes the difference between strains and sprains. He also discusses the most common causes of strains and sprains and the best ways to recover from them.

Although the terms strain and sprain are often used interchangeably, just remember that strain=tendon and sprain=ligament.

After you have taken a look at what he has to say about RICE and HI-RICE as a way to speed recovery, you should read my thoughts on how to get R.I.D. of injuries.
