Sometimes I’ll quiz a class by taking it in turns to ask a student to name one of the 17 muscles that insert on to the scapula - just pray that you’re not last!

Omohyoid is the least well known muscle of the scapula, how many of the remaining 16 can you name? 🤨

The Ridgeway

Those who know me will know that endurance sports are not really my thing! But I do love to be outside and, after reaching a point of needing to escape the noise and chaos of a busy stage of life, I decided hike and wild camp the Ridgeway.

The trip gave me everything I needed, explicit amounts of fresh air, almost constant breath-taking views and the kind of hard physical work that forces your mind to take a breather from everyday stresses.

I met some very cool people along the way, some of which helped me when I need it most - thank you.

And for those that know me well enough, maybe I’ll tell you the Helen Browning story if you ask 😜

Who’d have thought this muscle would originate alllll the way back at the medial border of the fibula?!

The lower leg is full of surprises when we start to look deeper into the anatomy 🦶

QL… it’s in there somewhere 🧐

Knowing your anatomy means you’re not just guessing when it comes to palpation.

It’s not just tibialis anterior on the front of your shin… 🦵

Why do YOU think we’ve got such big muscles controlling the (relatively smaller) toes? 🤔

There are so many interesting facts about this muscle but I’ll just lead with this: the piriformis is a lateral rotator of the hip BUT flex the hip to 70* and it becomes a medial rotator 🧐

It’s all to do with the position of the insertion on the greater trochanter and how that changes with hip flexion 🤔 💪🏻

Forearm anatomy can be an intimidating prospect to get your head around so we divide the muscles up into different compartments to try to make some sense of them…

Palmaris Longus is one of the superficial wrist flexors that make up the pass, fail, pass, fail group.

Keep your eyes peeled 👀 for the other 3 💪🏻
