The quadriceps muscle group ("quads") is a group of four muscles extend down the front of the thigh. All of these muscles are connected or share the tendon that encloses the kneecap and the hip. They are also  attached to the the shin bone.   They extend down to your lower leg. Three of these muscles work the knee joint, and the fourth helps raise your thigh (along with iliopsoas). Trigger points (small knots in the muscles) can cause pain in your knee and all along the front and outside your thigh as far up as your hip and pelvis. Trigger points in quadriceps are one of the chief causes of knee pain in both children and adults.

"I am interested in a pair of your shorts.  I have inflammation in the quadriceps and hip of my left leg.  I have had this condition for over five years.  I can no longer walk 18 holes on the golf course.  I am 58 and played a lot of football in high school and college.  I guess it finally caught up with me.  I have been to numerous doctors and have taken anti-inflammatory drugs, acupuncture, physical therapy, magnets and presently trying a steroid cream that is massaged with an electrical current.  Three days ago my bother sent me a pair of your compression shorts he purchased last year for a groin pull.  I am now at least 80% recovered.  It is amazing.  I was just out in the yard talking to a neighbor and I opened my pants to show him the shorts.  Another neighbor drove by and honked at us.  I want to get a pair to rotate.  I love your product".    Neil

Trigger Points in the quadriceps can be the cause of many problems including the pull that creates chondromalacia, Osgood Schlatter and Iliotibial band pain in the knee.  This pull from a trigger point actually develops a pain that is in effect referred to another part of the body, i.e. the knee or hip.  However, the authors of Myofascial Pain and Dysfunction, The Trigger Point Manual for Fibromyalgia, JanetTravell and DavidSimons, MD's report that "voluntary skeletal muscle is the largest single organ of the human body and accounts for 40% or more of body mass. Further, they state that "any one of these muscles can develop myofascial trigger points that refer pain and other distressing symptoms usually to a remote location." In spite of this, "the muscles receive little attention in modern medical school teaching and medical textbooks." 

Goode Wraps relax muscles and tendons and reduce the pull of trigger points. 

Hello: 

"I have used your product for years (ever since a bad bike accident caused a serious knee injury, as well as a choice Sciatica  problem that would plague me for years to come).  At first, I was amazed and comforted by the use of the knee wraps. And would subsequently order me a new one!  I have 3 knee wraps and one ankle wrap.  Then, after a serious flare-up of my sciatica last year, I decided to spend the money on you compression shorts.  Well, I have to say, it’s best purchase I have ever made.  They bring me more relief than muscle relaxers (which I hate using) and my pricey “inversion table “ (which I don’t hate but don’t have to use anymore on a daily basis, now that I sleep with my compression shorts).  My sciatica is under control and I only have flare-ups when I train “over the limits” (triathloning)……and my shorts are back on at night, during the day at work, all the time until I feel better"!   Brenda

Referred pain from myofascial trigger points (tiny contraction knots) in the quadriceps muscles of the thigh can cause pain in the knee and hip.  A trigger point is a small contraction knot in a muscle that can be as small as a pea or as big as a thumb.  It is buried deep in the muscle but can usually be located by pressure.  Even when the hip, knee or ankle has suffered a verifiable physical injury, trigger points in associated muscles always contribute a major part of the pain. Referred pain can be every bit as intense and debilitating as pain from a damaged joint.

Researchers suspect that trigger points may actually be the root cause of fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis or other kinds of joint deterioration.  Muscles afflicted with trigger points become shortened and stiff. When this happens, even normal movement puts strain on muscle attachments at the joints, which eventually result in damage to connective tissue, bone and distortion of the joints themselves.
