#NeverStopMoving

Hi There I am so excited about this week's muscle!! Why, because I believe it is one of the most injury prone muscles that we underestimate! I also believe that we can lessen this "proneness to injury" by stretching this group, namely: Adductor Brevis, Adductor Longest and this week's Adductor Magnus . You see when we move these muscles,it is usually one direction within a joint that can and should be able to move multi- directional. Think about. The hip joInt is multi- directional, but when do we actually open the joint? We walk, run and cycle in one direction. it is rarely where we open the joint, when we do it is usually done quick and the groin gets injured. Thus I believe stretching this group should be implemented in every program for absolutely everybody.   Any Questions?  Adductor Magnus Origin: Ramus of the Ischium, Inferior Pubic Ramus, Tuberosity of the Ischium  . Insertion: Linea Aspera, Adductor Tubercle.  The function of Adducto

Hi There We are back at it!! Terminology  We have learnt the following  *Abduction/ Abduct *Proximal *Distal *Brevis *Longus *Inferior *Flexion *Adduction Muscles we have done *Abductor Digiti Minimi of the Foot  *Abductor Digiti Minimi of the Hand *Abductor Hallucis  *Abductor Pollicis Brevis *Abductor Pollicis Longus   All the above muscles main function is Abduction.  *Adductor Brevis  *Adductor Hallucis   These muscles main function is adduction. Adductor Longus Origin: Pubic Symphysis, Superior Pubic Ramus  . Insertion: Linea Aspera.  The function of Adductor Longus:  Flexion  f the thigh Stabilization of the Pelvis  Adduction of the thigh Extension of the  thigh Follow link for a video   for the anatomy of Adductor Longus . .  Most common injuries:  Groin injuries. This type of injury is very painful and awkward. Most athletes get groin strains.This is why stretching

Hi There We are back at it!! This week we add the "Hallucis" to our terminology..  Terminology  We have learnt the following  *Abduction/ Abduct *Proximal *Distal *Brevis *Longus *Inferior *Flexion *Adduction And this week we add... Hallucis which means.  "of the big toe" Muscles we have done *Abductor Digiti Minimi of the Foot  *Abductor Digiti Minimi of the Hand *Abductor Hallucis  *Abductor Pollicis Brevis *Abductor Pollicis Longus   All the above muscles main function is Abduction.  *Adductor Brevis  This is the first muscle we have dealt with, which main function is adductor.  Now on to this week's Muscle Adductor Hallucis Origin: Base of the second metatarsal bone, Base of third metatarsal bone, Base of the fourth   metatarsal bone, ligaments of metatarsophalangeal joints 3 - 5 . Insertion: Base of proximal phalanx of the foot.  The function of Adductor Hallucis:  Adduction of big toe Flexion of the metatarsophalangeal
