Pulled Abdominal Muscles

Recommended Posts

So how many of you have suffered from these?...Its easy to get them doing Ura Nage's incorrectly. And I have had my share as well.

But did you continue training while you had them or what?

I've pulled ab muscles before, and they can be problematic.

The best bet is to limit your activites to those that don't actively cause more pain. This will vary depending on where exactly the pain is and how bad the strain.

YOu can keep training, you just have to modifiy what you're doing. Now, if the injury is severe enough that it hurts with everything, it's probibly best to just take some time off for recovery.

Doing a Ura Nage I has a lower and middle abdominal muscle strain, and wha that hurt, haha, but I kept going to class everyday for three weeks before the pain began to cease, it hurt like a bugger, and I could barely sleep at night...

It limits your mobility, you cant turn to well, and when you do, you basically collapse, haha.

I did this once a long time ago - but it happened before my m.a. training - I pulled my ab muscles at the gym on a machine. I just remember it being SOO painful and I stopped exercising for a couple weeks.

Yep - that's it - I forgot the name too. You sit in it and then pull down with the handles until your legs are crunched up against your stomach.

I didn't know it happened that way - at first I thought it was my appendix or something else. lol
