I think they are trained to deal with restraints as effectively as possible whilst causing minimal 'damage' but quite often on the ward, I have seen restraint causing bruising and injury to people. (Although not as much as when the police are involved!)
I think it's too protect you though. It is worth bringing it up with somebody - either the advocate as suggested above, or the ward manager. Whilst it may be that they did everything to help you, it could be that the manager certainly needs to know that the current restraint methods are leaving injury.
