Quad Contusion

1. Lay hypafix over the area of pain
2. Add an AC tab over the area of greatest pain
3. Put leukotape over the AC tab tensioning from distal to proximal

These tape jobs work best with a tensor wrap over top. Spray the area with pre-tape spray as this will help the tensor stay on. Start with the tensor distal and place it under tension. Alternate angling the tensor and placing it flat upon each pass of the tensor wrap. Basically make an “X” shape with the wrap along the thigh and come across it horizontally to seal it. Seal off the tensor with 3 strips of ultralight in a star pattern over the site of pain. You can also wrap the tensor band around the contralateral hip to assist in adduction if there is an adductor strain as well.
