What Causes A Knot At The Bruised Area After A Leg Injury?

Hello,
As the knot is a fascia inflammation and will take some time to go. This will be helped by normal biomechanics of the muscles and the correction of the muscle imbalances by the body itself. We just need to assist the healing process with the help of hot water fermentation and gentle kneading massage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
