Ligament strains require prompt medical treatment, typically managed with methods such as ice application, compression bandages, and pain relievers. Additionally, regular self-rehabilitation exercises are necessary to promote recovery of muscles, fascia, and joints. Over an extended period, physical therapy and functional rehabilitation training are needed to ensure complete healing of the strain and restoration of normal function in the injured muscles.
