Safety Awareness Tip
| Bruises & Sprains |
| Bruises, sprains and strains commonly result when children fall, play sport (particularly competitive sports) or collide with objects or people when excitedly running about. The injury affects soft tissues in the body, such as muscles, ligaments and blood vessels. These tissues can be torn, over-stretched or damaged. Soft tissue injuries can take days, weeks, or even months to heal but applying first aid can help relieve pain and assist with healing. |
