Unfortunately once a muscle is injured it can be easily torn again and this will lead to a build up in scar tissue which in turn cause the muscles to feel tight and shorten. As i am sure you are aware stretching is a key element of fitness which is why many professional sports people take part in activities such as pilates and yoga. Another problem to consider is your foot wear and whether it is supportive enough. Generally a good sports massage therapist will cover all of these points when you visit them, as they should be trying to assess your body as a whole.
