How to Massage the Quadriceps

The quadriceps are the four muscles on the upper anterior leg. The Rectus Femoris is the only one that crosses two joints. The 3V's are the Vastus Lateralis which is the most powerful of the four. It is located on the lateral side under the IT band. Vastus intermedius is under the Rectus Femoris. The Vastus Medialis is on the medial side of the leg and it's the one that looks like a tear drop. All four insert through the quadriceps tendon and the Patellar tendon on the Tibial Tuberosity. The Quads extend the knee and the Rectus Femoris also flexes the hip so it's important to work when the Psoas and Iliacus are ischemic.
