Rest: Rest, ice, anti-inflammatories can be helpful.  If the pain persists, be evaluated by a specialist to make sure you do not have a more serious problem.

Question 6

how long do hip flexor muscle medium tears last?

Accepted Answer

Variable time period: Most partial tears heal without surgery with rest and physical therapy within 4-8 weeks. Strenuous activity would not be allowed until adequate protective strength has returned.

Question 7

what exercises can i do for a torn hip flexor muscle?

Accepted Answer

The best exercise is: In my opinion, your workout should include cycling with clips or power grips. Cycling is gentle, rhythmic, increases blood flow, aiding in healing. Hip flexors are difficult to heal, so until you improve with cycling, avoid free weights.

Question 8

how can i recover from a hip flexor strain as fast as possible ?

Accepted Answer

Depends upon its --: severity &amp; duration you have had it for.
The RISE= Rest, Ice, Stretching Exercises + pain meds like Aleve (naproxen) or Motrim would get the job done, but it'll take about 2 weeks at least, maybe more.
Stretch the flexors gently several times a day and gradually increase the range. Do not overdo it. After a day or so you'll get the hang of it. If you do too  much, it'll hurt worse.
See PCP if not improving.

Question 9

when can i start cycling again after a hip flexor strain? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Few weeks: You need to give it 2-3 weeks to heal. By that time if you are out of pain then start back slowly and build up to your current level. If you want to get back faster see a physical therapist for therapy.

Question 10

what are some good exercises to strenghten a damaged hip flexor muscle?

Accepted Answer

Stretch first!: With any muscle injury, rehabilitation starts with stretching the muscle, then start strengthening.  Hip flexors can be worked with a straight leg raise while lying on your back, with the knee bent or straight, with or without an ankle weight.  Isometrics can be performed in the sitting position by pushing down on your knee with your hand while lifting the knee.
