There is no set time for any strained muscle to heal, it is all dependent on the individual. It would be recommened to rest the strained muscle as much as possible as anything too strenuous will increase the length of recovery.

A pulled muscle occurs when muscle fibers are stretched beyond their limit, leading to pain and limited range of motion. A strained muscle, on the other hand, involves the overextension or tearing of muscle fibers or tendons, causing pain, swelling, and loss of function. Both injuries are common during physical activity and require rest, ice, compression, and elevation for treatment.
