An overuse injury can occur when you take on too much physical activity too quickly.
The strain that causes overuse syndrome occurs when a body part is called on to work harder, stretch farther, impact more directly, or otherwise function at a greater level then it is capable of handling. The affecting impact may be insignificant, but when it occurs repeatedly the constant straining can cause damage. The term overuse syndrome identifies a large group of conditions that result from using the body in a repetitive way, causing injury from the amount of cumulative stress. These conditions are often focused on a joint and usually affect the muscle, bone, tendon or bursa of the joint.
