Managing Muscle Contusions

The infamous ‘dead leg!’ Management of dead legs, or muscle contusions, has long since changed… Yet 9 out of 10 therapists are still using old fashioned methods to treat these types of injuries. If treated incorrectly these seemingly low level injuries can turn bad… And big complications such as myositis ossificans, where the blood that pools as a result of the contusion turns to bone, can happen! These are complications that you want to avoid at all costs!Listen to this week’s podcast episode to learn how to get your patients and athletes back to full fitness safely and much quicker than you ever thought possible… Using methods that are super simple, yet nobody is using! Enjoy the show! PS. I recently posted some new content around the best way to manage muscle contusions in my New Grad Physio Membership. Want to get access?
