Muscles make up over half of the weight of a human Healthy Body and they are required to make even the smallest of movements such as nodding your head or tapping your toe. If too much stretch is put through one of your muscles you may end up with a painful muscle strain. If the similar type of injury occurred to one of the ligaments in your Healthy Body, it is termed a sprain.
