Day 4 small tear in calf muscle not given much advice on ongoing treatment seeing physio in 2 days still resting do i move it do i use hot or cold?

Injury: Muscle tear best heal with surgical repair (if large) or simply by resting the injured area. The tear will heal with a small scar in the muscle, so light range-of-motion activities are good to keep the healing scar in the muscle from adhering to surrounding tissues. After 24 hours, heat seems to provide most benefit, although i allow my patients to use whichever feels best.
