It attaches above the medial epicondyle with the common tendon and the intermusculer septaIts muscle belly only extends to the upper half of the forearm. Distally the tendon attaches to below the base of the second metacarpal bone and a segment to the third metacarpal bone

INNERVATION:
FCR is innervated by the C6/C7 spinal nerves.

TRIGGER POINT :
FCR trigger point resides in the midsection of the muscle belly and satellite trigger points can come from the Pectoralis Minor muscle. Most trigger points are perpetuated from gripping movements such as long periods of holding and gripping , ie: holding a steering wheel for long durations, holding and using a hammer.
Its referral is primarily along the muscle belly and to the radial side of the wrist.

Hey Stu! Massage therapist from NZ here. Really love your content. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on here for free! I'm wanting to learn more about specific trigger points and their referral patterns. Can you recommend a book on this subject? Is there a gold-standard text in this space? Appreciate it. Kels
