How do i recover from a pulled calf muscle?

Rest, ice, time: Almost all calf muscle strains and partial tears will heal with relative rest and time. In the acute phase, limited weight bearing, a heel lift, icing and anti-inflammatories can all be of help. Most heal within 4-6 weeks. The key for an athlete is to prevent recurrence. Rehab focused on restoring strength and muscle balancing are keys to preventing reinjury.

RICE: In the early stages after pulling a hamstring you should: r -rest i - ice c- compress e - elevate. After the initial 48 hours gentle stretching helps. Sometimes some physical therapy may be helpful if the pain persists.
