Quadriceps Contusion (Bruised Front Thigh Muscle)

In this plan

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I know this sudden injury is a deep bruise in my front thigh muscle, often from a direct hit or fall.
   • I know contact sports and repeated blows raise my risk. I protect the thigh from another hit.
   • tell my team if I take blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder. I do not change medicines on my own.
   • I avoid heat, deep massage, and forceful stretching early on, which may worsen swelling or injury.
