"Turn a set back 

into a come back."

How to treat soft tissue injuries such as bumps, sprains or strains.  

Rest - avoid as much movement as possible to limit further injury. Don’t put any weight on the injured part of the body

 

Ice - apply a cold pack for 20 minutes every 2 hours for the first 48-72 hours of acquiring the injury

 

Compression - apply a compression bandage that covers the injury to reducing swelling.

 

Elevation - elevate the injured area to limit the flow of blood to the injury.

 

Referral - if not healed after the first 48 - 72 hours seek professional help
