Recovery time depends on the severity of the strain:
- Grade 1: Mild strain — usually 1–3 weeks
- Grade 2: Partial tear — typically 4–8 weeks
- Grade 3: Full tear — may require 3 months or longer, sometimes surgical care
Healing can be faster and more complete when treatment includes:
- Activity modification
- Physical Therapy focused on flexibility, eccentric strengthening, and gait mechanics
- Myofascial release or sports massage
- Regenerative therapies for more advanced tears
Returning to activity too quickly is one of the top causes of re-injury, so guided rehabilitation is key.
