    recurring upper thigh strain pain

    Physical Agents In Rehabilitation
    Hi there

    A few years ago i hurt a particular muscle on my upper thigh leg near hip area while surfing. since this it has always come and gone and i have always just stretched it and put up with it.

    2 months ago I visited a physio an she gave me a programme to follow with stretches and core conditioning to try and rectify it, though she didn't exactly locate where exactly the strain was, because it is actually quite difficult to pin point unless it is playing up.

    But i do believe after a lot of research that it is the rectus femorus muscle somewhere near the top, but defiantly haven't had any groin pain just the " upper and inner side of my leg

    The best way to describe it is when i would kick a ball and the pain would shoot up. I have found that these stretches has helped, but i feel as if the damage might be worse than what i think.

    It is also difficult to find a particular excersise to stretch it but i have found that, lying down and rolling the muscle over a tube thing provides relief

    i have meticulously stuck to the programme and my gym time has really helped my core and surfing, but this strain is still playing up and last weekend i hadn't surfed for ages and i went out and pulled it and have spent the last 4 days feeling it playing up.

    Re: recurring upper thigh strain pain

    Hi Mike,

    If you have really hurt that muscle, doing some deep tissue massage may help a lot. Remember to use massage oil, and press deeply over the site where the muscle turns into tendon and just before it attaches to the hip bone. With some luck, you may find point tenderness over a certain place, do trigger point there with some circling at the same time. Hope it helps

    p.s. If it flares up again after sports, remember to ICE it as soon as possible!!
