Trigger points in knees from Squats

[siimon89]

Everytime I squat, I seem to keep getting trigger points in my knees afterwards. I do foam rolling pretty much everyday on my whole thighs, tennis ball release on the hips and once or twice a week i do some deep vibrating massage on my calfs. I also do lots of stretching.

About one week ago, I did squats only just about parallel. But since then I realised my mistake, lowered the weight and started squatting a lot deeper than paralell.

What could I be missing on the foam roller? I know it's too early to say from own experience if the parallel squats were a part of it or not, but what do you guys think?

Thanks

Trigger points are normally in the belly of a muscle, though their effect is felt at the ends (like knees).

I would first look for form correction where the knee is concerned. If your knees tend to buckle in when you're coming up, it's the most probable reason for knee pain. Check your form, keep your knees shoved out & keep foam rolling.

About showing the knees out, should I after sitting back with my hips push my knees out?

Try to push your knees out throughout the squatting movement. Shove them out while sitting back & keep them that way till you come up & lock out. A nice cue for this try to spread the floor apart with your feet.

Thanks for the advice
Though I can't really seem to understand the cue part.
