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
