In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know this sudden injury affects the front thigh muscles that straighten my knee.
- I may strain my thigh when I sprint, kick, or jump. Fatigue and past strains raise my risk.
- I protect my leg from painful activity. Pushing through pain can worsen the tear.
- I avoid heat, deep massage, and forceful stretching during the first 2–3 days.
