🔴 Muscle Monday! 🔴

Biceps Femoris 🦵

🟢 This muscle attaches from the sits bone in the buttock and the femur to the head of the fibular on the outside of the lower leg.

🟢 It is one of the three hamstring muscles in the back of the thigh

🟢 Biceps Femoris helps to bend the knee and extend the hip

🟩 Fun Fact! The word "Biceps" means the muscle has two heads/tendons that attach in separate locations.

Throw Back Thursday!

Johansen is the friendly neighbourhood skeleton at the clinic. He has quite the history to him. Some may have noticed that he got a bit of an upgrade to Johansen 2.0.

He started his journey with me during a placement at a private school. They were just going to throw him out unless I took him home. He was missing a jaw and hands, but I didn't care. He stayed with me for quite awhile until I was offered to buy Johansen 2.0 from a friend. (But don't worry, Johansen was donated to a good friend so his story lives on.)

There's much more to his story full of laughs, you'll have to ask me about it next time you see me!

Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints) 🦵

Let's talk about Shin Splints. This is an umbrella term for pain conditions in the shin. Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) is one of the more common conditions that we experience. MTSS can be an overuse injury causing micro-tears in the muscles or it may be stress fractures. With more severe cases, I always recommend getting x-rays to make sure there aren't any fractures there before we start rehab.

Common causes of MTSS are an increase in training, worn out shoes, and poor mobility in the feet. Many times with Shin Splints, there is more than one thing causing the pain.

🟢 Q & A Wednesday 🟢

"Why do you ask if I have headaches when it's my shoulder that hurts?" 🤔

The body is all about connections. There are a number of muscles that connect from your shoulder to your head and neck. When these muscles are tight or have trigger points, the may refer pain up into the head causing a tension headache. Those same muscles may also refer pain down the shoulder blade and down the arm mimicking shoulder pain.

In the case of shoulder impingement or rotator cuff injury, tension headaches can also give me a clue that you are using other muscles to compensate. For example, the Upper Fibre Trapezius muscles (know as our "traps" on the top of the shoulders) tends to overwork when the shoulder is injured. We tend to shrug the shoulder to avoid pain but this eventually leads to poor body mechanics. Headaches that go up the neck and wrap around the ear are a common referral pattern for this muscle. This tells me that I need to work on the traps but also retrain how your shoulder moves.
