Office Kitty aka Tiger😭 see you on the other side 😭😫😭😖

Long before fascia and tensegrity became buzzwords, we were applying them to build a system that gets real, measurable results through movement. Keep in mind, we filmed this interview with Thomas Myers from Anatomy Trains over 10 years ago. Back then, we weren’t following a trend—we were building the future of training. Now, the industry is scrambling to catch up, throwing around terms like “crimp,” “elastic recoil,” and “tensegrity” without truly understanding their application. If your methods don’t create real, visible improvements in movement, they’re just empty words. A key part of this? Training elastic recoil—the body’s ability to generate effortless, spring-loaded movement. If we want to stay youthful as we age, maintaining elasticity is non-negotiable. The moment we lose it, we start moving slower, feeling stiffer, and breaking down. Developing elastic recoil is the first step on a path toward improving our mechanotransduction and slowing the aging process. We’ve set the standard in all things physical training—fascia, muscles, and bones included. This is the trend going forward, and if you’re serious about your health—you’re in the right place. #functionalpatterns #fascia #functionaltraining #anatomytrains

Yep

Circumduction of the wrist is a complex movement characterized by a circular motion primarily occurring at the radiocarpal (wrist) joint. This movement combines flexion, extension, abduction (radial deviation), and adduction (ulnar deviation) in a smooth sequence to create a conical or circular path.💡 Learn human anatomy fast at Anatomy.app!🧠 https://anatomy.app/ #anatomy #medschool #medstudent

You asked, we delivered!🔥 Here’s a look at some of the sutures of the skull. And there’s more - every suture, including those not shown here, can be explored in our app! We’ve got an entire article dedicated to them, so make sure to check it out! Learn human anatomy fast at Anatomy.app!🧠 https://anatomy.app/article/sutures #anatomy #medschool #medstudent

We are empowered to be able to figure out any and all joint actions of a muscle by looking at one simple thing… 😊

the line of pull of the muscle relative to the joint it crosses.
Or put in a bit more detail…
the line of pull of the muscle relative to the axis of motion at that joint.

How can we understand this?

Well. We need to understand planes and axes.

Movement of the body through space is divided into three dimensions (3D), each dimension represented by a plane.

There are three (cardinal/major) planes:
sagittal
frontal (aka coronal)
transverse (aka horizontal)

We need need to see that all axial movements that occur within a plane (and most movements are axial) occur around an axis.

An axis is an imaginary line that runs through the center of the joint (and is always perpendicular to the plane).

It is not my goal here to teach planes and axes, all therapists out there should have already studied them. My goal here is to refresh these ideas and point out that by knowing them, we are tremendously empowered!

Look at where the hamstrings cross the hip joint. Yes, they cross posteriorly, so the do extension of the thigh at the hip joint.

But look at how they cross medial to the center of the hip joint (where the axis would be)… 👀 👀😊

What does this tell us? 🤔

In the frontal plane, the hamstrings ADDUCT the hip joint.
And all three hamstrings (medial and lateral) do this because they all cross medially!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

It really is sooooooo simple.

I hope this helps you understand how utterly simple muscle function is.
