Soft tissue injuries include:
Other Soft Tissue Injuries (eg fat, myofascial tissue, joint capsules, skin and other connective tissue)
Obviously, the best care is to seek prompt medical attention for an accurate diagnosis and its specific care. However, in the interim, you can follow the following general guidelines.
In the first three days after injury, use the R.I.C.E. method:
- Rest (to avoid pain and further damage)
- Ice (20 to 30 minutes each two to three hours)
- Compression (to support the injury and minimise swelling)
- Elevation (above your heart to assist swelling reduction)
