If you just bruised your ribs, you should ice them (with a layer of protective material between the ice and the skin) right away. In the first couple of hours, the cold will minimize bruising by helping with clotting to stop the "microbleeding" from injured tissue. It will minimize swelling, too. If it's been a while, all you can do is take something for pain and minimize moving in such a way as to put more stress on the injury. It's like any other bruise. You've taken a hit, and you'll need to treat symptoms while your body heals itself. There isn't a lot of intervention that can be provided here. We don't "tape up" ribs any more. It just makes things worse (every breath hurts) and restricts breathing possibly leading toward congestion and respiratory issues. Not a good trade. If you can avoid moving around a lot in the first few hours, that will help. Some stiffness will set in. Big surprise. You've injured yourself. But treatment with ice right away and some immediate immobility for a few hours will go a long way toward a more rapid recovery. Take it easy and take over-the-counter pharmaceuticals for pain. If you have any doubts about what happened, a trip to a medical practitioner is a must. If you'd broken a rib and punctured a lung, you'd probably know it, but safe here is much better than sorry. The experience of a number of soccer injuries bears this out (and yes, soccer is a contact sport).
