Get the best advice on how to manage a corked (contused or bruised) muscle. A 'corky' is a common impact sports injury to the thigh, calf and gluteal (hip) areas. The muscle is deeply bruised and the muscle fibres can be damaged, just like a torn muscle. Pain and swelling can be significant, and a contused muscle needs to be taken seriously.
Ryan, a Sports Physiotherapist, explains the best management of a contused muscle, along with how to know how long it will take to recover.
