Rectus Femoris Trigger Points

Trigger points in the quadriceps are commonly responsible for painful hip, thigh and knee conditions.
Note that Trigger points in the rectus femoris can often cause a deep aching pain in the front of the knee, even though the trigger points themselves are typically found closer to the hip.
Whilst there is no substitute for hands-on treatment from a trigger point professional, stretching exercises can be very useful both to help avoid these trigger points becoming active (injury prevention) and for rehabilitation.

This explains why my knee feels like it's going to blow up when I roll my hip.

I’ve had hip impingement surgery and hip avulsion fracture surgery back in 2021, I did some physical therapy but my rectus femoris still seems to be weak. I’ve tried laser therapy, cupping and scrapping but it only gives me a temporary relief. It hurts when I sprint and squat. Left leg feels 100% and my right leg feels 70%.

Highly disagree with the more proximal trigger point location closer to the hipm
I find that it gives moderate pain locally, slight pain up to the hip and moderate pain to the knee cap.
Trigger points in the mid belly cause moderate pain locally and IMMENSELY to the middle knee cap and even the outter knee cap
