A member asked:
My physio has told me that my thigh and muscles around my knee are tight. how can i help loosen them up? would a massage help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and stretching: The main thing is stretching those muscles (hamstring and quadriceps) for better results. Ask your therapist for exercises in order for you to do them safely.
