Swelling is a common phenomenon after an injury and it can cause restriction of motion. Here is what you can do for reducing swelling.

• Apply Ice: Icing has a vasoconstriction effect (narrowing of your blood vessels) on your vessels and it helps to minimize the swelling to some extent. • Wear compression bandages: When compression is applied on your injured body part, it helps in the uptake of extra fluid and reduces the swelling. • Elevate your injured body part: Elevating your injured body part above the level of heart assists venous return (blood moving back to the heart from veins) and therefore reduces the swelling.

If you somehow injure your muscle and it is shows swelling, first question that should come into your mind is who is the best personal fitness trainer near me?
