I’m a national powerlifter and recently I tore my vastus lateralus and boy has it given me the hardest time I’ve been pushing off the rehab and it’s effecting me so today is a start
Love this video and explanation. My right quad was over used by constantly kicking a ball. I didn't warm it up properly or do any proper rehab after. 4 weeks on and i tried to play soccer again, only to go back to square 1. Lessons learned, wish i had seen this video before hand! Thank you for the video.
Hi, I’m interested in how the isometrics and exercises help recover the muscle strain. Is it mainly the hypertrophic effect of those exercises that help build the muscles in the area of injury? or is there another reason that it helps recovery? I would love to hear back from you! I love your videos!❤
Thanks for the information! How do you know when to begin this post day 2 work? I felt a pop and was told it was probably a grade 2 strain not 3 or tear. I needed crutches first day as it was painful and buckling. I for sure overused the quad and realize that now. I’m 48 hours in now and doing quad flex and heal on ground quad flex movement. Can I incorporate your exercises if pain free? Difference between discomfort and pain?
question: I had a grade 2 quad strain about 6 months ago. Unfortunately I didnt do proper rehab but I did recover to the point of playing soccer painlessly again. However, about a week ago I strained it again. I really want to recover fully this time. Is it too late, or is there hope for full recovery?
Hi I sprained my quad around 3-4 weeks ago I was still doing small slow inclined walks on it and stretches and physio and swimming to try get it to recovery faster I then tried to run on it for 10 minutes last week and I feel I am back to week 2 on it but now almost a week later I am back to walking and hopping on it with no pain I just do not want to make it worse again or prolong any more recovery so I have stopped doing anything on it now is this worse for me or should I be trying stretches again I just don't want to make it worse I can move it without pain and walk and hop on it with no pain but once I start trying to do physio on it, it swells up a bit and starts hurting and it's the same if I walk on it for a medium period length does this mean it's not ready yet? Should I wait for the swelling to go down fully before trying physio? Or should I just leave it be I just don't know how far along I am away from being able to get back to inclines walks and running
I have almost exactly the same problem right now, tried those exact recovery methods and put me back after the run. If you found any successful tips I’d love to hear.
Is it okay to continue to strengthen my legs through weight training? I do leg presses and squats for example and they work out the quads. I’ve been having this nagging right quad injury for a year and I want to rehab it correctly so that I can continue to play soccer without worry.
As long as what you are doing for your strengthening isn't making your symptoms worse a general rule of thumb is that it's ok to continue with your current program!
@@ThePrehabGuys I have talked to a bunch of PTs and sports medicine doctors. It's at least a grade 2 tear. Opinions have been varied. My MRI is in January... Until then I won't know for sure.
I severed my quad just above the kneecap. It happened several years ago. It was surgically repared but its no where close to where it needs to be. I can't jump, run or do squats. I can do water aerobics, have done even created a few moves all my own. But the water is not the world I live in. Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks for reaching out and sharing a bit of your story! Hard to say without a thorough evaluation but definitely worth trying some quad strengthening exercises and going from there! Definitely check out some of our knee programs through our app for a bit more guidance! bit.ly/tryprehabYT
This is my 3rd time within 3 months watching this video because somehow during my treadmill sprints, I keep firing up my upper right quad and that one out of one hundred times, I immediately get that deep burning pinch and have to take a few days off. So thanks for this video (because here I am) yet again. 🫶🏽
@@fratzlav9197 yes, usually as a warm up before other exercises and it definitely reduced my pain when I had the left quad strain. Interestingly I found that when I’d been sitting down for a while and then stand up, the pain came back so I took that to mean that the glute muscles had become inactive again from being sat on for so long and they needed to be reactivated.
@@Dinotastic311 So sorry for the late reply, but I only recently got notified that you responded. But you were absolutely right! Turns out I actually have a pretty big muscle imbalance to the point that when my walking/running gait was analyzed I found out that I spend almost twice the amount of foot/ground contact of my right foot on my left, even though I had no idea I wasn't walking/running evenly. So I was very much overcompensating with my much stronger left leg (i'm left handed which I was told is usually how that works, but not always) and not training my right leg in isolation enough. Thank you for replying to me though, it was definitely right on. ☺️
Hey man I'm in desperate need of help rn Did you also have a quad pull injury How long did you take to recover Also what exercise did you perform for faster recovery

Thanks❤. So clear and packed with vital & applicable info in a concise way👍💪
Trying this to get my sprint strain heal quicker. Thanks!
Actually: would easy cycling support the healing?

Generally as long as exercises do not reproduce pain you can perform them! Work through what feels comfortable and listen to your body!
Who’s here after shooting a football lmao
Was playing soccer but after trapping it and changing direction my quad fell off my damn leg
My striker thought he was a defender while I was shooting the ball😂
Just happened to me over weekend football

Note to self: use resistance band as anchor when doing reverse nordic.
I see this one was focused on the quad relative to the knee, can you maybe do one on the quad relative to the hip?
Some good stuff coming soon, stay tuned!

Can these exercise be used for a front thigh muscle strain injury?
Definitely! Give em a go!

@@tkhalil79Whats efdf mean?
I have a partial tear in my rec fem. Is it possible for me to begin a bodybuilding journey? I really want to build big legs.
Very dependent on the severity of the tear! I would recommend chatting with a local PT to further assess!
@@ThePrehabGuys I have talked to a bunch of PTs and sports medicine doctors. It's at least a grade 2 tear. Opinions have been varied. My MRI is in January... Until then I won't know for sure.
Is it OK to have some pain after the isometric hold? (I've been resting for over a week now)
Feel the pain a few hours later after the exercises(especially around the VMO)

Check for muscle imbalances. I had this exact thing and it ended up being due to a glute min/med weakness particularly on one side
@@Dinotastic311does that mean that you do more glute specific exercises now?
@@fratzlav9197 yes, usually as a warm up before other exercises and it definitely reduced my pain when I had the left quad strain.
