Two days prior to the injury, she did something out of the ordinary with respect to gym activity. She did 100 chin ups within a 100 minutes for some charity thing, which is much more volume that she'd ever normally do.
1) Is there a way to tell if this a muscle or a tendon injury?
2) If it's muscle, since it not bruised up, it'll be grade I, yes? And since the Starr method works for grade II, then for grade I, it will be just fine to rehab it this way?
3) If it's tendon what does she do?
Thank you
