“How long does a muscle strain take to heal?”
My son strained a muscle playing basketball with my friends. Should I take him to physical therapy, or can this strain heal on its own?

I would wait about 1 week. If it doesn’t clear up, then at least get him evaluated to make sure there is nothing serious going on. What is actually bothering him though?

A strain can heal on its own as long as there is no subsequent re-injury. But then the question is, what can he do? I would recommend a PT consultation.
