Contusions Continued

If you think you have a contusion, or specifically a quadricep contusion, do not continue physical activity. If you don’t let your body properly heal, you may be at a higher risk of injury down the road. Apply ice on the injured area and then lightly stretch it out. Repeat this cycle for the first 2 to 3 days. Then ease yourself back into exercise.
