intertrochanteric line (near the hip joint), greater trochanter (bony attachment near the hip joint), and the gluteal tuberosity (lateral posterior surface of the femur). This muscle attaches to the tibial tuberosity via the patellar tendon. The sole function of the vastus lateralis is knee ...
The semitendinosusmuscle is also located in the posterior region of the thigh and is composed of the biceps femoris and the semimembranosus which make up the overall area of the hamstrings. The semitendinosus is above the semimembranosus and this muscle presents a thinner tendon that crosses an...
Don’t forget to roll the bottom of your foot with a ball, as well, to lengthen the posterior chain tissue even further. There is a direct connection between the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. Some people do not feel that the foam roller gives them enough of a release as it is ...
