The modified ‘Thomas Test’ gives a good indication of excessive tightness in the quadriceps muscle group and also the illiotibial band. Both of these structures can lead to knee pain if they cause an increase in the pressure of the patella on the articular surface of the femur. Myofascial release (eg: foam rolling) and specific dynamic stretches can play a major role in eliminating knee pain caused by this issue. Physio Conditioning offers tight quads treatment and programmes.
