Semimembranosus and Resilience
|
Aloha Reader, Upside-Down Pilates Join me for an anatomy minute! The semimembranosus is a flat, deep hamstring muscle on the posteromedial thigh, originating at the ischial tuberosity ("sitting bone") and inserting on the tibia. It extends the hip, flexes the knee, and medially rotates the tibia. Injuries usually stem from overuse, causing chronic pain at the back of the inner knee. Are you ready to be healthy and thrive? Would you love a personalized hand crafted program to go from sick and in pain to sexy and free?
