Only a few weeks until the start of our 10-month BTEC Level 5 Diploma in Soft Tissue Therapy, and there are still a couple of places available for anyone wishing to enrol. Starting our course in September would mean that next summer you could be graduating as a fully-qualified soft tissue therapist running your own business!

If you’re nervous about taking the plunge please get in touch and chat to us - or have a look at our Student Success Stories (https://ossm.co.uk/blog/) to see where our graduates came from and where they are now.

This could be the start of a life-changing experience – find out more on our website: www.ossm.co.uk or call Lisa on 07590 047076

Two semis make a whole and that’s definitely the case when it comes to the 2 semis of the hamstrings.

Semimembranosus takes on a membranous form while its brother, semitendinosus, resembles more of a tendon in its tubular structure.

This little-known muscle pronates the wrist (clue is in the name!!)

The deepest muscle of the anterior forearm, pronator quadratus doesn’t cross the wrist OR the elbow! It’s sole purpose is to connect the radius to the ulna and to rotate one around the other - causing pronation of the wrist 💪🏻

Fun fact about the QL:

It can compensate for a weak gluteus medius 🧐
If you’re assessing using a single leg stand and the hip doesn’t drop on the opposite but you suspect gluteus medius is the root of the problem then also test it in side-lying hip abduction… if it’s weak then it means it’s likely the opposite side QL was preventing the hip from dropping and NOT gluteus medius 🤔

Have you heard of this muscle before?

Now we’re getting deep into the layers of the posterior torso musculature you might expect to come across some of the not-so-well-known muscles - here’s one of them 💪🏻

If you ever forget the difference between extension and abduction of the thumb just look at the fingers and then remember the thumb is exactly the same but 90 degrees off to the side 👍🏻

Unfortunately, in anatomy, a shoulder isn’t just a shoulder.

There are a few joints that make the shoulder but today it’s the ball and socket, or glenohumeral joint, that we’re digging into.

Can you name any of the other joints that make up the shoulder? 🤔

It might not be often that we give Multifidus a spare thought but this muscle is pivotal in avoiding and conquering low back pain.

Wondering how to strengthen it? 🤔

We love and couldn’t resist when students asked us to re-enact a slide from one of our presentations featuring this amazing team demonstrating special tests for the arm.

This one in particular is Adson’s Test for thoracic outlet syndrome and the students thought the look spoke a thousand words! (Swipe to the end)

Which one can you relate to most? (I’m no.3 🤚 🙈)

What do you mean you’ve never heard of Fibularis tertius?!

As the name would indicate, it’s the third of the Fibularis muscles and it’s distinctly different insertion means that it doesn’t plantarflex but instead dorsiflexes the ankle!

Get to know a bit more about Fibularis Tertius 🤓 💪🏻
