Good tunes always make us tap our toes, just like electroneedling does too! . The gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris muscles make up what is commonly known as the calf muscles. These muscles are important for walking, running, jumping, climbing or looking good in a gym selfie 😉 . Gastrocnemius assists with knee flexion and ankle plantar flexion. Nerve supply is the tibial nerve (S1-S2). Soleus assists with plantar flexion of the ankle. Nerves supply is the tibial nerve (S1-S2). Plantaris assists with knee flexion and plantar flexion of the ankle. Nerve supply is the tibial nerve (S1-S2). . Here is electrotherapeutic dry needling to the lateral aspects of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, to actively assist the body in healing by inducing a local biochemical change, which promotes the body’s natural repair systems, potentially reducing the recovery time. . _________________________________________________ Momentum Muscle Therapy: A holistic approach to functional manual therapy, using integrative techniques and an innovative approach to restoring optimal health.

This is pretty amazing! Normally a fracture takes 6-8 weeks for osteoblasts to form new bone, then remodel and restore the bone to its original shape. But what happens if the bone doesn’t follow normal healing patterns and doesn’t fuse back together??.. It can create a false joint! 🦴👀😳 How crazy is that?! 😱 This specimen comes from the collection of John Barclay, and shows a lower leg where the tibia has fractured, but the bone has not united forming a ‘false joint’ where the two opposing surfaces of the fracture have spread to accommodate one another. #Repost @surgeonshall _________________________________________________ Momentum Muscle Therapy: A holistic approach to functional manual therapy, using integrative techniques and an innovative approach to restoring optimal health.

Pop it like it’s hot ✊🏽💥 (sound on) What causes the popping noises? Short answer: Gases. Synovial fluid present in your joints acts as a lubricant. When you crack a joint, you stretch the joint capsule. Gas buildup within the synovial fluid rapidly expands, causing the popping sound. In order to crack the same knuckle again, you would have to wait until the gases return to the synovial fluid. Will I get arthritis if I crack my knuckles? While this is a commonly heard statement, there is currently no medical research that conclusively demonstrates a connection between knuckle cracking and arthritis or long-term joint conditions. 🎥 @physics _________________________________________________ Momentum Muscle Therapy: A holistic approach to functional manual therapy, using integrative techniques and an innovative approach to restoring optimal health.

One week in.. ☕️ . Bruises are caused by blunt injury or trauma to an area. The impact can break apart the superficial blood capillaries that are just under the skin. . With vacuum cupping, the pressure caused by the suction of the vacuum cup can also break these capillaries, leaving circular shaped bruises. . Vacuum cupping at MMT is used to help improve blood flow to the area, reduce pain and any fascial adhesions. Fascial adhesions can reduce the ability of nerves, veins, arteries and lymph vessels to slide through musculoskeletal structures and inhibit range of movement. _________________________________________________ Momentum Muscle Therapy: A holistic approach to functional manual therapy, using integrative techniques and an innovative approach to restoring optimal health.

What’s a little lite electrocution between friends for therapeutic reasons aye?! 👌🏽😉 . This technique is electropen stimulation to the brachial plexus ⚡️🖊 . The brachial plexus nerve roots extend bilaterally from the anterior rami of the spinal cord between the C5-T1 vertebrae. This neural network supplies the afferent and efferent nerves to the chest, shoulders and arms. These are the terminal branches of the musculocutaneous, axillary, median, radial and ulnar nerves. . The electrical pulse from the electropen placed over the brachial plexus stimulates the nerve to contract the muscle. Notice the contraction is more active on one side than the other. . _________________________________________________ Momentum Muscle Therapy: A holistic approach to functional manual therapy, using integrative techniques and an innovative approach to restoring optimal health.

Calcaneal tendinopathy is often caused by continuous, intense physical activity, such as running and jumping. . The calcaneal tendon, commonly known as the Achilles’ tendon, is a confluence of the gastrocnemius, soleus and plantaris muscles, and is one of the strongest tendons in the body. The tendon is inserted on the posterior surface of the calcaneus (heel bone). . Tendinosis is a chronic condition within a tendon, generally caused from repetitive loading. There is collagen (structural protein) disarray within the tendon, reducing it’s ability to heal. This extends the time it will take for the tendon to return to “normal”. Electrotherapeutic Dry Needling (EMDN) to the calcaneal tendon to decrease pain, improve range of movement and quicken the healing process. . EMDN was used in conjunction with nerve manipulation, joint mobilisation and soft tissue manipulation. _________________________________________________ Momentum Muscle Therapy: A holistic approach to functional manual therapy, using integrative techniques and an innovative approach to restoring optimal health.

A muscle is a band or bundle of fibrous tissue within a human that has the ability to contract, producing movement in or maintaining the position of parts of the body. . Skeletal muscles are often layered over one another throughout the body. When dry needling, being aware of the different depths of a muscle plus important surrounding structures assists with needle length choice. . Here is electrotherapeutic dry needling to the gluteus minimus muscle using a 70mm needle, to actively assist the body in healing by inducing a local biochemical change, which promotes the body’s natural repair systems, potentially reducing the recovery time. . _________________________________________________ Momentum Muscle Therapy: A holistic approach to functional manual therapy, using integrative techniques and an innovative approach to restoring optimal health.
