Our advice

Muscle contusion is the result of a blow to a muscle during exercise. Pain, bruising, swelling... The application of cold and a tight bandage can bring relief.
Cool... but correctly!
If you use ice cubes, don't place them directly on the skin. Wrap them in a plastic bag or towel before placing them on the injured area. Gel compresses are much easier to use. Even when frozen, they remain flexible and adapt perfectly to the shape of the joint. The application of cold should not exceed half an hour.
