If there's bruising - NO MASSAGE
Massage can loosen clotted blood into the bloodstream where it can be moved to places where lodging could cut of circulation to small blood vessels and cause problems.
If the bruising's very bad, there are some lotions and potions based on bromeliane (not sure about that spelling) - I have a Swiss topical gel called Hepa-gel - and there are ones to take as medicine/pills too - but I'm not exactly convinced they do much, to be honest (I bruise easily and badly so have been given these things from time to time by helpful medics)
