Thigh Injury

Thigh muscle strains (quads/hamstrings)

Can be caused by direct blows, over stretching or over loading the muscles.

Treatment:

  • Rest your leg and try to move it as little as possible
  • Apply an ice pack at regular intervals
  • Elevate and support the leg, this will help to reduce swelling
  • Ask advice from your GP or a qualified physio if symptoms don’t subside after 48 hours
