Sam, what brilliant videos you provide. I often recommend your channels to my colleagues and physiotherapy students to get your name more widely known. Keep the musculoskeletal videos coming for the future physio students please!!
Sooooo informative and clear, easy to understand. I’m experiencing exactly this issue recently and seeing the anatomy and listening to your analysis of surrounding anatomy was just what I needed to understand some of the causes. Thank you!
What a perfect video for me! I’m a runner and I have recent pain in the medial knee. It first came on only when I would try to stretch my hamstrings I feel a strain on the inside of the knee, and it felt directly proportional to the stretch on the muscle, right at the end to the ends of the hamstring. I tried to stretch through it lightly. I’ve continued to do a lot of running, and now the pain occurs as I walk as I turn my lower limb I feel the pain in my knee from the slightest bit of rotation. I don’t understand if I need to stretch the hamstrings because that exposes me to the pain at the location of the injury. Right now I’m guessing that I need to stop running for a little while but I don’t know. Ideas?
Short muscles put more pressure on this area (it needn't be the bursa - tight muscles can cause pain at the region where the muscle becomes tendon, in the tendon, or where the tendon connects to the bone). Muscles get shorter and tighter with use in runners, so restoring their length can be helpful. If you stretch each muscle group and compare left and right sides you will likely get a sense of which muscles are tight. Remember that semitendinosus, gracilis and sartorius insert here so you will have to stretch hamstrings, quadriceps and hip adductors. While you're there try stretching hip flexors and gluteus maximus to see if they are tight. Physiotherapists tell me to spend time stretching those muscles gently for around 25 seconds daily to restore their length, but don't stretch the muscles that are not tight as we're trying to restore the balance between left and right sides. Rest and ice will help reduce inflammation. You may need to reduce the amount of running that you do and reduce the intensity. I don't normally give advice like this but I am a runner too, so take this with a pinch of salt. I am a science doctor and not a medical doctor. Good luck!
Great video. I'm currently saying a physio and what has be helped greatly is targeted hamstring exercises. Curls, swiss ball bridges. It's still not away and it comes back when I don't do my physio.
I've had this for 3 years in both of my knees. I can't run anymore. This pain is weird. One day I could barely hold any weight on my knee and had a doctor oppointment the next day. By miracle myknee was healed and he could bend it all he wanted with no pain. He just said I have crooked legs and it might be that. Very annoying. I hope to find cure.
Hi, thank you very much for your video. I would like to ask you something. I have a pes anserine bursit (goose foot inflamation) since 1 year. I am going to collectif group classes where we work our abs, legs, hips and core strength. I got this pes anserine bursit while doing "leg press" machine. I did not feel it suddenly during the workout but the pain started after going home, and since 1 year I have it. I even took antiimflamatory medicine at the beginning but they did nothing. I don't know what to do. To be honest, I continue to the gym class dispite this probleme, I did not want to stay at home and rest. But during summer vacation I stopped 1 month, hoping that it will be better, but even the 1 month rest did not help. I am hopeless. Will I have it until the end of my life ?
As a primary physician / GP, I like your educational video. But, it would be so much more pedagogic if the skeleton actually had muscles added. Anyway. Thank you. We GPs often get these patients. We would like to have simple and easy 3D accessories to educate our patients.
I cut my head hair every 2 months to zero, that's 1mm and I feel cold air at the back of the head. I need to use some small cap to cover the back of the head even in the summer. I can feel any amount of cold air and it's annoying. Why the back of the head doesn't get warm ? I need to wait 7-10 days for the hair to grow and then I won't feel the annoying cold air.
Thank you for sharing I am having issues/concerns in that area I am taking anti-inflammatory medication for that etc..... (Sports/extra adipose tissues) 👍🏾
Your videos helped get me through a regional anatomy class! Love how you break things down and your chill delivery. 10/10 !

Very educational and fun to watch, as always! Thank you Sam, regards from Utah.🙏💫
Super informative. Thanks a ton ❤
Absolute legend. Thank you so much for making these
I now know knees. Really informative 👍much appreciated.

That was interesting sam especially for me as I’ve got OA in my right knee it’s knackered ! X

Thanks God bless you
An interesting anatomy lesson...
Thank you!

My pes anserine bursa on my right knee is swollen and painful to walk on. I hope it heals soon.
Thank you so much
More neuroanatomy video!! Please!!!🙏
Thank you
I've seen the feet of geese. It doesn't look like that. Who is coming up with these names?
