Pay special attention to proper core stability so that the core maintains a stable spine and provides a solid base for movement of the hip flexors.â. Athletes need two to seven days to recover from a mild sprain, one to two weeks for a second degree injury and four to six weeks following a complete tear.
Hip flexor strains range from grade 1 to grade 3 and are classified as follows: 1  Grade 1 Tear: a small number of fibres are torn resulting in some pain, but allowing full function. 2  Grade 2 Tear: a significant number of fibres are torn with moderate loss of function. 3  Grade 3 Tear: all muscle fibres are ruptured resulting in major loss of function.
