The clients was preparing for a match against Plymouth Uni and complained of Quads tightness, the following muscles were targeted; Rectus Femoris, Sartorius, Vastus Medialis and Vastas Lateralis. Sartorius and Vastus Medialis felt tight to touch, there was also bruising following along the Sartorius muscle. No redness in the area. Effleurage (Eff) and Petrissage (Pet), Tapotement were taken out on target areas to encourage blood flow and loosen muscles, deep massage wasn’t used in this scenario. Client was advised to drink plenty of water after treatment to stay hydrated.
