Introduction
Massage therapy for the muscles of the thigh and knee joint can help facilitate rehabilitation from injury or surgery, prevent atrophy, relieve back pain, provide relaxation, or be included as a part of a sports training or event program for athletes, dancers, and others.

Structural Perspectives of the Knee Joint
Genu valgum or knock-knees, is a walking pattern marked by a lateral angulation of the leg in relation to the thigh. Genu varum, or bowlegs, is a walking pattern marked by a medial angulation of the leg in relation to the thigh.

18-8
Structural Perspectives of the Knee Joint (cont.)
Patellar tracking is often the result of unusual gait problems that prevent the patella from riding normally over the knee in a superior and inferior direction during extension and flexion, respectively.

18-9
Structural Perspectives of the Knee Joint (cont.)
The iliotibial tract becomes “contracted” when the tensor fasciae latae and the gluteus maximus become shortened and contribute to a contracted iliotibial tract. Ober’s test is an orthopedic test for a contracted iliotibial tract.

The Muscles
Balancing the muscles of the thigh requires appropriate stretching, strengthening, and training. Hamstring strains in eccentric contractions are common in track and field events. A large hematoma, or bruise, can be the result of a bad hamstring sprain.
18-11
Injuries and Overuse Syndromes
Trauma can take its toll on the knee joint and its structures. Ligaments and menisci are at risk. Structural changes in the knee joint, abnormal gain patterns, or imbalanced muscular development in the thigh can cause a trigger point in the fibular collateral ligament. Osgood-Schlatter disease is a dysfunction with the growth plate of the tibial tuberosity.

18-12
Nerve Complaints
Pain in the anterior thigh, or meralgia paresthetica, can be attributed to branches of the femoral nerve being entrapped in some location by soft tissue. The sciatic nerve can be entrapped between the adductor magnus and the biceps femoris in the posterior thigh.

18-13
Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Surgical Intervention
Knee replacement is a common solution for a painful hinge joint that no longer functions properly. A substitute hinge is called a prosthesis. A healthy knee joint, without trauma or problematic gait issues, needs exercise, stretching, and massage for maintenance.

Unwinding the Muscles of the Thigh and Knee Joint: Where to Start?
Use appropriate techniques for the density of the soft tissue – athletes need sports massage techniques. Treat the anterior thigh and hip flexors first. Treat the pes anserinus area and involved muscles appropriately.
