The teres major is a muscle that often does not get the respect it deserves because it is next to the more well-known latissimus dorsi (lat). The lat might cover a larger surface area of the body, but in the posterior axillary fold of tissue, the teres major is actually quite a bit larger than the lat. For this reason, I like to call the teres major “the lat’s big brother”.
The flexor pollicis longus (FPL) is the only muscle in the human body that flexes the distal phalanx of the thumb at the interphalangeal (IP) joint. It runs from the anterior surface of the radius to the distal phalanx of the thumb, passes through the carpal tunnel alongside nine tendons and the median nerve, and is a key muscle involved in texting thumb and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Learn everything about the brachialis muscle — its attachments, open- and closed-chain functions, how to palpate, stretch, and massage it. The perfect muscle for teaching kinesiology biomechanics.
The rectus capitis posterior major (RCPMaj) of the suboccipital group musculature is a small muscle located deep in the superior aspect of the posterior neck, directly inferior to the occiput (hence the name suboccipital). It is an extremely important muscle to know and be able to assess and treat because it is often responsible for clients’ tension headaches.
Long-term stretching seems to occur mostly at a sensory level of the nervous system versus the mechanical properties of the muscle-tendon complex itself.
Structural groups of muscles largely determine functional groups—that is, the structural location of a muscle largely determines its mover function.
Early loading after a muscle strain injury is important because immobilization can swiftly and adversely affect muscle and tendon structure and function.
Muscle Anatomy Master Class (MAMC) is the most comprehensive and detailed muscle anatomy online video class in the world!
Muscle Anatomy Anatomy is the key to physiology, which is the key to pathophysiology, which is the key to assessment and treatment. SO… Anatomy is so very important for manual therapists and movement professionals! [os-widget path=”/yanikphoto/how-much-do-you-know-about-muscles” of=”yanikphoto”] If you enjoyed …
I am creating a new blog post feature to my content called Ask Dr. Joe, or perhaps better put, Ask Me Anything*. With Ask Me Anything, you can write to me by email (joseph.e.muscolino@gmail.com) and ask me any question about: …
Tight musculature is the most common presenting complaint that a manual therapist will confront and is a component of every neck musculoskeletal condition.
