All muscles are capable of regenerating; it all depends on the amount of injury. The first stage of healing is resolution where the muscle repairs the damaged muscle cells. This happens most frequently when we start a new activity, such as a new exercise or sport and our muscles become sore the next day. This is a sign of resolution. Regeneration occurs when there is an injury where the muscle cells cannot be repaired, so new muscle cells are built. All skeletal muscles are capable of resolution and regeneration.

If the damage is too severe, then fibrosis is the mechanism of repair. And example is a muscle tear, usually called a strain. This is where muscle cells are torn apart, or there may be damage from a cut. In this case the body has to fill in the open space of missing tissue with scar tissue, this is called fibrosis. After it has been repaired, another healing mechanism called remodeling begins and this is what makes the scar tissue more pliable and functional. Massage Therapy can be very helpful at this stage.

What benefit is there to muscle recovery?

When one works out they are stretching and, in a sense, tearing their muscles. Muscle recovery is when the torn muscles then heal and become stronger and more defined. Without muscle recovery, one is not giving their body time to regenerate and become stronger.
