20.01.2022 Well, there’s actually no single winner! Strength can have different applications for different muscles. However, these groups of muscles have been recognised among the strongest, according to the Library of Congress: -The external muscles of the eye -The gluteus maximus -The heart -The masseter (jaw) AND... -The tongue! Which strong muscle do you work the most? With the amount of talking and eating we do, we’re afraid to answer that one ourselves! #physio #physiotherapy #strongestmuscle #muscles #frenchsforestphysiotherapy

16.01.2022 The piriformis muscle is a pear-shaped muscle found deep in the buttock. It attaches to the sacrum at one end and the femur at the other end. This muscle helps us turn our leg outwards when our legs are down and straight, like when we stand. Get this though When we bring our knees up towards the ceiling, the function of this muscle reverses and it becomes an inward rotator! When this muscle gets tight or injured, it can press on the sciatic nerve that passes close to it, le...ading to pain and possible tingling or numbness in the buttock and down the back of the thigh - a condition called ‘piriformis syndrome’. Are you experiencing any odd sensations in your leg or buttock? Let us know and we’ll check that your piriformis (and surrounding areas) are happy and functioning well! #physio #physiotherapy #piriformis #piriformissyndrome #frenchsforestphysiotherapy

13.01.2022 Dislocated shoulders are painful and can occur as a result of extreme force to the area. They happen when the ball of the shoulder is pushed out of the socket. Did you know that your shoulder can dislocate in a forward, backward, upward or downward motion? Lucky for you, we’ve got you and your shoulders covered. Raise your hand if you’ve dislocated your shoulder (on second thought, keep that arm down until we assess you first!). #physio #physiotherapy #dislocatedshoulder #sho...ulderinjury #frenchsforestphysiotherapy See more
