Saturday morning cupping sessions 👌🏻

22/01/2022

One of the most frequently asked questions about cupping is how long do the marks take to fade? 🙋🏻‍♀️

Naturally this will differ from person to person however, on average it should take 7-14 days for the marks to completely go!

BONY LANDMARKS: THE PELVIS 🦴

Abbreviations are as followed…

ASIS ➡️ Anterior Superior Iliac Spine

AIIS ➡️ Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine

PSIS ➡️ Posterior Superior Iliac Spine

21/10/2021

➡️ANTERIOR LOWER LEG⬅️

The anterior (front) compartment of the lower leg is made up of four different muscles:

1️⃣ TIBIALIS ANTERIOR
⬇️ As shown it originates from the lateral surface of the tibia and is notably the strongest dorsiflexor of the foot.

2️⃣ EXTENSOR DIGITORUM LONGUS
⬇️Is located laterally and deep to the tibialis anterior and as well as allowing dorsiflexion of the foot, it also extends the lateral four toes.

3️⃣ EXTENSOR HALLUCIS LONGUS
⬇️Is located deep to both the Extensor Digitorum Longus and Tibialis Anterior. As well as dorsiflexion, it also allows extension of the great toe.

4️⃣ FIBULARIS TERTIUS
⬇️Arises from the most inferior part of the Extensor Digitorum Longus and allows eversion and dorsiflexion of the foot.

🦶🏻ANKLE LIGAMENTS 🦶🏻

Back again with series three of the basic anatomy series!

Today we’re taking a look at the main ligaments within the ankle. These can be divided into two main groups:

🅰️ LATERAL LIGAMENTS (found on the lateral aspect/outside of the ankle) are responsible for resistance against excessive inversion and internal rotation stress:

1️⃣ ATFL - Anterior Talofibular Ligament… Notably the ATFL is the weakest of the lateral ligaments and therefore, the most commonly injured.

2️⃣ PTFL - Posterior Talofibular Ligament

3️⃣ CFL - Calcaneofibular Ligament

🅱️ DELTOID LIGAMENT (found on the medial aspect of the ankle - otherwise known as the inside) is made up of 4 ligaments that form a triangle, connecting the tibia to the navicular, the calcaneus, and the talus. The deltoid ligament stabilises the ankle during eversion and prevents subluxation:

1️⃣ Anterior Tibiotalar Ligament

2️⃣ Posterior Tibiotalar Ligament

3️⃣ Tibionavicular Ligament

4️⃣ Tibiocalcaneal Ligament

The last post in this weeks basic anatomy series looks at the superficial muscles in the back ✌🏼

These include the:

1️⃣ TRAPEZIUS

2️⃣ LATISSIMUS DORSI

3️⃣ LEVATOR SCAPULAE

4️⃣ RHOMBOIDS (MINOR & MAJOR)

▶️ Notably, the muscles in the back are divided into extrinsic (superficial) and intrinsic (deep). The extrinsic (superficial) back muscles lie most superficially and can be divided into a superficial and intermediate layer.

▶️ The trapezius is a flat, triangular muscle with 3 different origin and insertion points. It’s main functions are to stabilise, elevate, depress, retract and rotate the scapula.

▶️ The latissimus dorsi stretches across almost the entire surface of the back. It’s function is to extend the flexed arm, adduct and internally rotate the arm and to pull the pectoral girdle backwards.

▶️ The levator scapulae originates from the transverse processes of vertebrae C1-C4 and inserts onto medial margin of the scapula. It’s main function is to elevate the scapula.

▶️ Lastly, the rhomboid minor and major muscles are located between the medial margins of the scapula. Their function is to stabilise and retract the scapula.

🦴 Happy Friday! 🦴

Todays basic anatomy post takes a look at the muscles involved in hip adduction. All five of these muscles are located in the medial compartment of the thigh and as suggested within their name, the main function of this group of muscles is to produce adduction of the thigh at the hip joint - this means the thigh is moved towards or past the midline of the body 👍🏻

These muscles include:

1️⃣ ADDUCTOR LONGUS

2️⃣ ADDUCTOR BREVIS

3️⃣ ADDUCTOR MAGNUS

4️⃣ GRACILIS

5️⃣ PECTINEUS

▶️ Starting with the adductor magnus - this muscle is the largest of the hip adductors and can be divided into two parts - the adductor part and the hamstring part. The adductor part is considered to be part of the medial thigh whereas, the hamstring part belongs to the posterior thigh compartment. As well as being a key adductor, the adductor magus also contributes to flexion and extension of the thigh.

▶️ Next, we have adductor brevis and adductor longus - both of which insert onto the linea aspera* at different points. The adductor brevis is the shortest of the adductors whereas, the adductor longus is larger in size.

👉🏼 The linea aspera are roughened ridges of bone on the posterior aspect of the femur 👈🏼

▶️ As shown above, the gracilis muscle is the most medial and superficial muscle of the medial thigh compartment. It crosses both the hip and knee joint as it originates from both the inferior rami of the p***s and the body of the p***s and then inserts onto the medial surface of the tibia. It is one of the weakest hip adductors.

▶️ Lastly, we have the pectineus which both flexes and adducts the thigh at the hip joint.
