After the acute pain subsides, a rehabilitation program that includes stretching and strengthening exercises can help improve flexibility and restore muscle strength. Gentle exercises such as straight leg raises and wall squats can help increase blood flow and promote healing. It's important to consult a physical therapist or doctor for a proper diagnosis and a tailored exercise plan, as well as to avoid exercises that may worsen the injury.
