🌿 Muscle Focus: Biceps Femoris (Part of the Hamstrings Group) 🌿
by Ancient Remedies Thai Massage
The Biceps Femoris is one of the primary muscles in the hamstrings, located at the back of the thigh.
It has two heads — a long head and a short head, which together contribute to:
✅ Knee flexion (bending the leg)
✅ Hip extension (moving the thigh backward)
✅ External rotation of the lower leg when the knee is bent
When this muscle becomes tight or develops trigger points, common symptoms include:
⚡ Deep aching or pulling pain along the back of the thigh
⚡ Pain radiating toward the back of the knee
⚡ Stiffness when bending or straightening the leg
💆♀️ How Thai Massage Helps
• Gentle pressure-point techniques to release trigger points
• Targeted stretching to relieve tightness in hamstrings
• Warm compress therapy to boost blood circulation and healing
Regular massage and stretching of the hamstring area can improve flexibility, ease muscle pain, and help prevent injury — especially useful for those who sit long hours or engage in physical activities.
