depends on the size & amount of use of the muscle as well as the size of the injury. muscle like most body tissues heals by forming scar tissue & this happens fastest when the muscle is allowed to rest. however the scar is non-functional & weaker than the non-injured muscle & so will be susceptible to future injury if not give time to heal. most muscle tears heal within two to three weeks but it is important to make sure it is healed before returning to strenuous activity.

Last yr following a SJ accident I tore the muscles across my abdomen. It was agony for a good 4wks, then it was painful for another couple. I would say it took almost 2 - 3months before I was really fit again.
