Quad Strain
The quads are the large set of powerful muscles that span the front of the thigh from the hips to the knees and act as hip flexors and knee extenders. The quads consist of 4 muscles: rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and vastus interomedialis. Strains involving microtears in these muscles, cramping, and tightness can be felt when the quads are injured or not performing properly. The rectus femoris is the most commonly injured portion of the muscle because of its anterior location.
Many different types of quad injuries can occur:
Strains, overuse injuries, and ruptures can happen at either end of the muscle or in the muscle belly itself. Strains usually develop from overuse or overexertion and are most common in athletes who repeatedly stress the muscles by extending the knee, notably runners and cyclists. This repetitive stress causes failure at the junction between the muscle and its tendon and can progress to tears. A common example of a strain to the quadriceps tendon is Jumper's Knee. This condition affects the quadriceps tendon just above the knee and is a direct result of repeated stress during multiple jumps. If pain is felt more towards the hips in the muscle belly, it is likely there has been a partial tear of the muscle itself. Pain is made worse with extension of the knee and to the touch.
Contusions are the most common quad injuries and are a result of a direct blow or blunt force to the thigh from an object or falling into an object. The contusion causes tissue damage and bruising. This often occurs in contact sports when participants collide and take a knee or helmet to the quad. Pain is generally constant and can be elicited by touch or any movement of the knee.
Muscle hernias can be caused by a sudden and forceful movement such as kicking, breaking into a sprint, or colliding with an object mid-sprint. Weakened or compromised quadriceps muscles will put the individual at greater risk for developing a muscle hernia. Typically a soft mass can be felt and is generally very tender to the touch.
Use KT Tape to relax the injured muscle and increase circulation to the area, as well as provide significant pain relief. Combine KT Tape with light progressive stretching, icing after activity, and appropriate rest in order to speed healing.

The videos have really improved! The original ones were so awkward, but you can tell Chris and the demonstrators have gotten more comfortable in front of the camera.

Yes. It's going to assist the muscle group in performing its function which will allow you to stay active while you recover.
Magical healing properties. Immediate relief of quad strain pain. Must shave and use alcohol to prep skin. Thank you kt tape.

i got KT tape but it doesn't stick well..like if i go jogging or play football it comes off after 5 minutes...what can i do?
My tape always peals at the ends even after i put it on after i take a shower, any suggestions to make it stick better?
Round off the corners on the ends.
How long can you keep it on for?
Juan Piedra for the period of training or competition or if you want to have it on all day you can. it lasts a very long time
The KT tape box says the original is good for 1-3 days and the Pro is good for 4-7.
using alcohol cleans the skin to make the tape stick
