Quad Muscle not getting stronger......

I too have quad muscle problems. My Muscles don’t want to stretch. Told me that after they stretch them, they go back to try to protect the area. I am having some success with water walking. I also get a lot Of muscle spasms during the night and sometimes during the day when my legs are elevated, they feel better when they are down.

I have a hamstring muscle that I can't get a good stretch no matter what I do. My PT coach told me to continue stretch but don't force it just go as far as you can gently then hold that stretch for 10 to 20 seconds. Also make sure you are getting enough protein. You need protein to build muscle fibers. If there isn't enough muscle you can't stretch any farther

I am wondering this as well....My ROM is 122 and they feel the best during the night straight as well as first thing in the morning but throughout the day they get sore and stiff. I will ask this in 6 weeks when I go back. This is interesting.
