Quads Strain Rehab. Often the main quad muscle is the rectus femoris tear of our thigh. The Rectus Femoris is our top most quad of a our thigh. It crosses both our hip and knee joint and therefore is involved in knee extension (straightening our leg) and hip flexion (bending our knee to chest).

This muscle may be strained/torn during high load exercises such as squatting or sprinting when placed under strenuous load. Often this is combined with a lot of fatigue: Over training more than usual.

Rehab for this injury is best described in phases more then weeks although enough time (4-8) weeks will have to pass before the muscle has healed at a cellular/structural level.

During this time the aim is to strengthen the quad/rectus femoris as best as possible within the limitations of pain and function. That is, working hard but not risking further injury to the tear.

Initial Phase 1
1. Rest from aggravating activity 48-72 hours or longer if necessary
2. Introduce light strengthening: Straight leg raises, Leg extension Isometrics
3. begin bigger range of motion exercise: Knee extensions.
4. Strengthen surrounding muscles: Glutes, hamstrings, Calvs,

Phase 2.
Once able to complete phase 1 begin :
1. Single leg squats
2. Single leg leg press
3. Back Squats
4. Other regular gym exercises as tolerated
5. return to low speed jogging

Phase 3.
Once Completed Phase 2. Begin looking to strengthen the muscle through full range with eccentric and concentric load (Max range of motion strength), Also look to introduce speed.
