What Happens When Overuse Occurs
If you overuse a soft tissue in the body, it can result in a pull or tear. There can also be small tears that accumulate, adding up to more serious problems in the future. Your soft tissues may also not get enough oxygen, a condition referred to as hypoxia.
Any of these can result in the production of dense scar tissue in the injured area. Scar tissue will tie down the tissues that should move freely, shortening muscles, causing them to be weaker, putting tension on tendons resulting in tendonitis and entrapping the nerves. You can experience a reduced range of motion, pain and a loss of strength. If a nerve is involved, you may also feel numbness and tingling.
