FAQs

A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon (connects muscle to bone). A sprain is an injury to a ligament (connects bone to bone).

A sprain can take two to 12 weeks to heal, depending on its severity. Mild sprains heal faster, while severe ones may take longer or need medical treatment.

A sports injury occurs during physical activity or exercise, often involving muscles, bones, joints or connective tissues like ligaments and tendons.
