A torn muscle will not stagnate: it will attempt to heal itself, although this process can result in poor outcomes if the native structure isn’t well-aligned during healing (e.g. when surgical repair is required). As this repair process occurs, the tissue is unstable, and “re-aggravation” refers to interrupting healing by exerting stresses on the injured tissue that it can’t compensate for in its compromised state. This applies to full or partial tears of the gluteus minimus or any muscle, or any tissue in the body for that matter.
