Do your quads feel tight or sore? Are they screaming for relief? If you’ve been looking for ways to ease the pain, myofascial release might be just what the doctor ordered. Myofascial release is a hands-on approach to managing pain and discomfort. Foam rolling acts as a way to massage, knead and gently stretch the muscles and fascia to work out knots.

The quads consist of four muscles (the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus intermedius). Sitting can lead to super tight quads. Just a few simple stretches can help reduce stiffness and improve mobility.

One way that the quadriceps don’t get injured is to make sure they’re strong and ready for anything. Strong quads allow for a stronger squat, more acceleration in sprinting, better balance, and power production.
