Hamstring Recovery Timeline Calculator

How to calculate recovery timeline?

Higher-grade injuries involve more significant muscle fiber tearing, requiring longer biological healing times and larger coefficients.

Recovery = (Grade Base weeks) × Rehab Multiplier

Using the calculator: an example

Example: Grade 2 injury with 5 rehab sessions per week.

Step-by-step calculation:

1. Select Grade 2 (Base 6 weeks)
2. Input 5 sessions per week (0.85 multiplier)
3. Calculate 6 × 0.85 = 5.1 weeks

This is an estimate and athletes must be cleared by a medical professional or physical therapist before returning to high-intensity sport.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I speed up recovery?
Ans: Consistency in rehab is key, but biological healing cannot be rushed.

What if I feel no pain?
Ans: Absence of pain doesn't mean the muscle has regained its eccentric strength.

When should I see a doctor?
Ans: Immediately if there is a visible deformity or inability to walk.
