What Is An Oblique Strain?

An oblique strain, AKA a side strain injury, is when one of the abdominal muscles (internal or external oblique muscles) becomes frayed, torn or detached. Oftentimes from the lower four ribs, it is painful to breath, cough and laugh. This is treatable, with recovery ranging from weeks to months with the correct treatment plan.

Oblique strains tend to hurt more with twisting, tennis, baseball, and golf. Reaching overhead or behind your upper back may also create abdominal/ pelvis pain or discomfort.

What is a lower abdominal strain?

Lower abdominal strains are slightly different that oblique strain. The location of a lower abdominal strain is right above the hip region, as the abdominal muscles insert into the pelvis. Lower abdominal strains are often misdiagnosed as sports hernias and hip impingement. Lower abdominal strains can also feel like strained muscles. Tightness and stiffness that is hard to stretch out.

Some people note lower ab strains while twisting, running, deadlift or getting up from a bed.

The last thing I’ve ever wanted to do was write up my own experience with a sports related injury, but alas, here I am!

Many of you may know that I play baseball; I’m an avid baseball player, so I train as a baseball player.
Surely, with my knowledge and experience, I was training adequately to avoid injury, right? Wrong!
I learned a very hard and painful (not to mention scary) lesson about having an oblique strain. It was such a learning process for me that I felt compelled to share it with you.
I’ll start by saying it was extremely frustrating not being able to find ANYONE who could help me through this horrible injury.
Fortunately, my job is to provide others with the rehab/therapy for their condition; the sad thing was that I’ve NEVER treated anyone with an oblique strain. I was the first case for me!
I was forced to experiment on myself using available research on abdominal wall injuries. Long story short, I overcame the oblique strain to play baseball again and still play today.
I can run as fast as I want, throw as hard as I want and most importantly, I can sneeze again!
To not forget how this condition felt, I wrote this article about my recovery. I hope it assists you mentally and physically through any issues you’re having.
