How to use "Re-strain" in context?
Re-strain is a term used in sports medicine that refers to the act of reinforcing a muscle after it has been stretched. Despite the name, re-strain is not the same as rupturing a muscle. Re-strain is when the stretch receptor activates and the muscle resumes its original length. Re-strain typically resolves without nagging pain or swelling.
