You can strengthen this muscle shoulder flexion and adduction motions. Raising your arm at the shoulder up and in so your elbow is in front of your eyes with free weights. Or with cables or bands bring your arm/ shoulders across your body trying to touch your elbows together in front of your chest.

Glad you are enjoying our content. Performing these actions in front of a mirror is very helpful and a gentle assist with your fingers to help train your brain to recognize the action occurring. Then repeat until you are able to do it easily on your own. Repetition daily is also encouraged.

Honestly this is a very challenging question to answer through text. The origin and majority of its belly is easily palpable until it start to go into the axilla near triceps. Often teres major and lats are fascially attached to each other. They will become very challenging to palpate as the pass deep to the brachial plexus, coracobrachialis and biceps short head. At this point you are vaguely palpating it. Teres stays posterior to Lats as the go forward and therefore is on the medial lip of the bicipital groove vs lats going further into it. Please look up a picture of the two muscles inserting together and I suggest an anatomy app so you can see the brachial plexus and circulatory system near there insertion too.

Thank you, glad you found it useful.

As you first approach the axilla you will feel Lattissimus and Teres major, lats is more anterior. You will need to go past the first musculature to sink into the actual subscapular fossa to feel subscapularis. Unfortunately they all do medial rotation so hand placement will be key to know you are in the correct area. I often pull the inferior angle of the scapula out towards me (upward rotation) to gain more access to the fossa.

Thank you for your request. We shall see what we can do about other languages. What we have found is not all words have easy translation from English when discussing anatomy so we are still trying to figure out a good method.

Glad it was helpful!

I believe you are asking if tight biceps femoris can cause external rotation of the thigh? It may, but it it more likely coming from the gluteal area. Muscles like piriformis or the gemellus muscles with glutes may be the cause of turned out feet.

Rest is always important. If you are constantly getting hit in those muscles they may need time to repair. Stretching and self massage along the pes anserine muscles as well as the quadriceps is important.

Awesome, thank you!

Glad it was helpful!

Can you expand on the question a bit?

@@blackriverbootsmaeducation what is the target of lengthening? Misuring de ROM, testing the muscle or a passive exercise? Thank you

@@antoniobasile6286 ah gotcha. Yes checking the muscle length specifically to form a treatment plan based on that. While we lengthen the muscle, the end-feel might give us clues on what the problem might be, at what level, as in tendon or fascia or skin itself or even maybe the joint is the problem. I hope it makes sense.

@@blackriverbootsmaeducation yes thank you! I'm a student and you videos are very useful!

Glad it was helpful!

It is most likely not the bone but more possibly the neck muscle tissue around it or that attaches to the hyoid.

You are so welcome!

You're so welcome!

Glad you enjoyed it!

You are so welcome!

You are absolutely right, sorry about that. We fixed that problem in our later videos. Hopefully someday we will have enough time to update these ones as well. Again, apologies.

All the face vids end in a laugh, so nice. < Taylor

Depending on the reasoning for surgery, it may be tight muscles or very good chance their could be scar tissue. Gentle face massage to the area and usage of the muscles may improve mobility over time. There typically isn’t a one technique release for scar tissue.

Thank you very much. We strive to have useful explanations/ information and more then simply this is how to find the item.

Did you find an answer to your question? I wanna know too…

I can't say I know of a solution, but I have trained my body to turn the corners of my lips up. I felt the same way you did, that. It's very pretty and approachable, so I worked to make that my default facial expression.

@@missmia196 how did you train for it?

You are most welcome. We are happy you have found our content useful. Please continue to share our content with others interesting in learning about human anatomy.

Glad you enjoyed the content. We have an introduction video on our page that gives information about who we are.

@@blackriverbootsmaeducation thanks brother I have some questions do you have Instagram ?..

Thank you so much! We really appreciate the support.

We are so excited to hear that are videos are helping. I truly believe the videos can help students as well as many practicing medical and non medical individuals. We are also very happy that are videos are reaching so many places far from home here in Canada. Hi back 👋

Yes, Tensor Fascia Lata is often a tight short muscle. Many people find it uncomfortable when deep pressure is applied to it. Regular massage and stretching can help alleviate its sensitivity.
