BEST FITNESS PRODUCT FOR QUAD PAIN – TOP PICKS

Below I have included more detail about my favorite devices for treating sore quads and quad pain. As there is always innovation in the fitness industry, check back often as I will update this list as I test and review new fitness products.

 

All Around Tool for Quad Pain - Theragun PRO Massager

Firstly, your quadriceps are the easiest body part to self treat with the Theragun PRO Massager. The Theragun was made for all around body use, but you could argue that it was "made" for treating tight quads - nothing on the body is easier to treat and responds better, in my opinion. Besides easy access, the greater muscle development of your quads is the perfect target for absorbing the powerful percussion motion that the Theragun generates. Lastly, the Theragun PRO is compatible with six different tips, which includes a dampner tip. This is a great feature, because it allows you to adjust the feel and treatment style depending on the type and severity of your quad pain.

Warm-Up for Tight Quad Muscles

First of all, the MyoStorm Meteor 2.1 is one of the most uniquely designed massage balls on the market with its ability to provide heated therapy in addition to vibration therapy. The heat element has an instant effect on sore and tight quad muscles. As soon as you heat it up and roll on it, you will feel your quads relax from the heat. In fact, it only takes less than 3 minutes to heat the massage ball, so you can start your session quickly. In addition, the roller also offers vibration, so you can also use it with or without the heat for a nice massage on your quads. At a great pricepoint, the MyoStorm Meteor 2.0 offers instant relief for quad pain.

Daily Sore Quads and Quad Pain

If you are suffering from quad pain daily, the Compex Electrical Stim would be my number one recommendation for you. First of all, our quads are constantly in a contracted sitting position due to commutes, desk jobs and modern forms of entertainment. Compex E Stims provide greater blood flow and simulates the act of exercise by causing activity in the region upon which you affix the cups, called electrodes. From my experience, you will feel the impact from all of this muscle twitching immediately. Above all, if I had to choose one tool for treating my daily quad pain, I would choose a Compex E Stimm.

Sports / Workout Induced Quad Pain

For athletes who train daily and need a tool they can bring to the gym or playing field to loosen up their sore quads, the Theragun Wave Roller is my pick. The vibration and the firm surface from the Wave Roller works very well on loosening your quads before and after weight room training or competitions. Its large circumference makes it perfect for sliding under your quads for a foam rolling session.

Quad Soreness and Fatigue

If you get heavy legs and need a boost to get back to peak performance, the NormaTec Pulse 2.0 is the Bentley of leg recovery products. The pulsing air compression flushes your lactic acid and muscle waste products, it honestly is a favorite of mine out of all my recovery products. If you have the money, it is by far the best recovery product for treating sore quads and tired legs.
