Popliteus Muscle Release - Motion Specific Release

Popliteus Muscle Release - Motion Specific Release - The popliteus muscle plays a crucial role in knee joint mechanics and is often referred to as "The Key of the Knee." This muscle is responsible for "unlocking" the knee when the leg is in an extended position, allowing for flexion and unlocking of the joint. Beyond this function, the popliteus muscle also performs several essential actions during the gait cycle.

To better understand the anatomy and biomechanics of the popliteus muscle, it's important to consider the structure and function of the knee joint. The knee joint consists of three bones, including the femur, tibia, and patella. The popliteus muscle originates from the lateral femoral condyle and inserts into the posterior tibia.

During the gait cycle, the popliteus muscle plays a vital role in controlling the rotational movements of the knee joint. Specifically, it helps to initiate internal rotation of the tibia during the swing phase of gait and provides stability during the stance phase.

Great videos ! Is there any stretches or exercises we should be doing to benefit the aggravation from the popliteus muscle? I am a runner, have been for over 30 years and recently miles have decreased due to discomfort on this muscle. Also, my knee is swollen at times.

Hi Brian! Amazing video I do have back knee pain. I stretch piriformis and psoas and it seems to realease but when i go with depp split squat there is a nerve between the two headbones that pinches me so sharply in the middle of the back knee. i do have also high patella Salvati index:1, 71). My question is: why do you choose that position to work with patient. Why don't you stand up? I am making a massage course and my lumbar zone is suffering a little when I give a massage. Thanks! Amazing channel and amazing content!
Way to go!

Hi Doctor! 5 years ago I sustained an injury that began with a hamstring overuse injury that snowballed into something bigger to the point I couldn't straighten the leg and was very painful behind the knee and couldn't walk well. I've had MRI's done but they never show anything the ortho could work with. I've seen other videos like these here on yt but the chiros/pt's I've seen do regular physical therapy exercises/spine/adjustments. What kind of chiro or pt would I have to look for that deal with this kind of treatment in the video. It's hard to find one here in Los Angeles, at least for me. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello Brain, is this muscle the cause for clicking behind the knees? I have been experiencing a non painful clicking behind my knee, but it does make my knee feel restricted. I believe it’s my ligaments or tendons clicking, but I am not really sure what is going in the back of my knee. If you can give me any guidance or your thoughts in how to make this clicking stop.
