💉 Dry Needling: Quads
Your quads do more than just build strong legs - they’re one of the key muscle groups protecting your knees.
🦵🏻 Function: To extend/straighten the knee or flex the hip. Together your knees absorb load and impact when you run or land, while helping your knees tracking during combined movements such as squats and lunges.
When the quads become tight, overworked or develop trigger points, they can pull on the kneecap increasing stress through the patellofemoral joint, often resulting in anterior knee pain.
Common Activities 🏃🏻♂️🏋🏻♀️: Running, Squatting, Boxing, Cycling
These sports can often stress these muscles particularly field sport and combat athletes. Healthy quads means better force absorption, improved performance and less strain on the knees.
