FOAM rolling your quads -- for knee and back pain!

One of the most frequent things I find in my clients is tension through the anterior thighs. Sometimes this is quadricep (quad) tension, sometimes it's more hip flexor...but did you know one of the 4 quad muscles IS a hip flexor??! 

Quadricep literally means 4 heads. There are 4 muscles that share the patellar tendon as one of their attachment sites. It is typical to have tension in all of them; and then when you start to treat it, you often find that there is actually more tension in one more than the others. 

This is such a common exercise/smash that I finally remembered to video myself doing it after a bike ride. It is one of the most important things for me to do especially after cycling, since it is a rather quad-heavy exercise. Check it out! Try it out!
