Sprains , strains and contusions, as well as bursitis, are common soft tissue injuries that can occur in most parts of your body.
Cause
Soft-tissue injuries fall into two basic categories: Acute injuries and Overuse injuries.
- Acute injuries are caused by a sudden trauma, such as a fall, twist or blow to the body.
- Overuse injuries occur gradually over time, when an athletic or other activity is repeated so often, areas of the body do not have enough time to heal between occurances. Tendinitis and Bursitis are common causes of soft tissue overuse injuries.
