isnt soft tissue damage the same thing as a sprain or something?well if it is u gotta remember that P.R.I.C.E thing -
Protect: Protect the affected part from further injury.

Rest: Stop all activities which cause pain to the sprained area.

Ice: Apply ice to the area several times a day, but never for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. Protect the skin while preventing the swelling.

Compression: Wrap the sprained area to reduce swelling. Cold water will do also.

Elevation: Keep the sprained area as close to the level of the heart as is conveniently possible.
if its not a sprain than my bad
