Dear Mr Webster, thank you so much for making these Videos! I'm a med student from Germany and I have an exam coming up on Monday and your videos have helped soooo much!! I have spent quite some time looking for Videos like these, with good models and I'm happy I found your channel. They are just perfect for visualization of the most important aspects of each part/organ. And I really like your somewhat funny way of teaching, it's so nice. So please keep on making more Videos, I'll be watching them all. And good look with your preparation for your run, take care of that sore soleus muscle :)
as a student physical therapy from the netherlands thank you so mutch ! this is so mutch better then being inside of a book al day just enjoying your way of teaching !
I am no longer telling myself “I can’t study Anatomy, or I hate studying Anatomy!” A thousand thanks. I have another Anatomy exam coming up soon and I feel so much more prepared and dare I say, enthusiastic! 🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️🤸🏽♀️
OMG I wish I had you to teach me anatomy. You are now my go to anatomy refresher resource! Thank you for making me finally figure out my seriously lacking lower limb anatomy!
I'm watching this in 2057 A.D. Thank you so much Mr. Webber for your videos and wonderful insights and side notes you wont see otherwise in books. I'm an art student (from the future) and I'm studying anatomy, for art of course, but also because its fascinating!
Absolutely LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!! For the first time im understanding anatomy. I love how simplified the info is but also really explains where each parts are and how they assist other muscles and tendons. Thank you for you videos!!
Really nice post....sir only one thing you miss to tell where the position of bones between the muscle... It will really helps to understand 100%...but u really did a 200% good job..just continue your teaching we are waiting for your videos...👍👍
I'm Brazilian and I'm so addicted to your videos, you are amazing. I came here to learn about my own problem. I lost dorsiflexion after a hernia L4/L5 two years ago; but it doesn't look like the foot drop video. I have strength and sensibility but my calcaneal doesn't touch the floor when I walk. I tried botox injections, calf, phisioterapy, but didn't work. Also, my Achilles doesn't look shortened in MRI. I'm so lost
Hi Sam. Another great video. Thanks for supporting MacMillan. One of my favourite charities too. Just want to make some additional points. A flabby Achilles Heel is often a sign of high cholesterol so may be time to get a test. Achilles, the Greek god, was killed by an arrow at the heel. A Gastrocnemius or Achilles strain means stubbornness or fear of change particularly with regard to family or similar relationships.
Really really helpful video. I've a seminar coming where I've to do a project on back of the leg. This video really really helped me to clear my ideas. Thank you
So happy to have found your videos, on a recommendation! Could you do one on active and passive insufficiency of the hip and knee? The OT students at Jefferson would be so happy if you could. Cheers!
Dr Sam. Always enjoy your presentation. I have a grade 2 gastroc strain and the plantaris tendon retracted by 13 cms after an injury. The u/s doesn't mention about the soleus. Does the retracted tendon cause any functional impairment. Have started physio. Difficulty raising the heel. Thanks
Wauuu...🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 For one thing, while many people do calf stretches and exercises they don’t think much about developing the front of the shin, tibialis anterior. Which is where walking comes in. The tibialis anterior is a key muscle in walking and a person that walks well probably need not think about working this muscle because proper gait patterns keep tibialis anterior toned and supple. But this blog exists to tell you that you don’t walk correctly. People that stand and walk well create a natural balance between the calf and the front of the shin that allows the achilles tendon to live a fairly uncomplicated life. Instead one of two misalignments is likely to be happening: A hyperextended knee which angles the achilles tendon chronically backwards. Tights hips which pull the knee and shins sideways when walking force the achilles sideways as well. Either of these two factors-hyperextension and tight hips-can lead to a chronically stressed and short achilles tendon that might well break down in an acute situation when you need a burst of speed. Walking, standing and running require the feet to land under the knees, which allows the achilles tendon to work smoothly. instagram.com/p/Bw8og0-n9qA/?igshid=187k27ds09mkz
Thanks 💮💮 I got so much out of this, I'm studying massage and the videos they provide are so dry and the teacher sounds so bored it really difficult to listen to, you are or at least seem quite passionate about the subject. 😚😚😚
When you rupture the plantaris, it shrivels up and your body gets rid of it eventually. But does it also tear fascia and can the remnants hit nerves? When I did this to my left leg my PT asked me - how can you walk six miles without pain and then you sit with your leg up extended and your leg seizes up in lot of pain. I think they did not believed me. Now I am going through this with my right leg.
For one who loves all kind of sports and suffers from a variety of muscle pain, could you recommend an anatomy book that we can use to find out the reasons or causes of these discomfort in muscle?
I like your clips.tell me If one had twisted ankle on the calcaneus area several times and was a runner thousands of Kim’s llot of marathons and maybe affected the Achilles tendon..I don’t know..I guess I got an unstable foot for years...what’s best to do? ..I find relief in stretching the calves ...but the pain and instability doesn’t disappear for so long now about 6 -8 years now. I have supinated 🦶 and twisted externally of course ..had also an external meniscus tear on that knee but that is practically cured..quads and hamstrings well trained. Thank you 🙏
Thank you SOO much 🥺 You've helped a lot in spotting the muscles from models because our institution doesn't have enough of them lying around, so most of us don't get a chance to see them 🥲
Sam, these videos are so helpful! Thank you so much! Have to tuned into the Gait Guys podcast. They may have some good insight into your tendon soreness...(hopefully its gone by now!:) Still very interesting for runners those guys and they speak your lingo! Cheers!
what part of uk is this ?=)thank you so much for your videos is so hard biology as register dietitian I have to study in my university but when I found your videos it make a lot difference in my learning experience=)thank you!
Many years ago I got stung all over by a lot of bees at once, and oddly enough my right lower calf decided to swell up a lot. I thought it would be a temporary thing but all these years later my right calf is still noticeably and measurably girthier than my left; the extra girth feels like it's either fat or fascia since I can pinch it between my fingers while on the other calf not so much. There's also now a spot where that vein you mentioned is permanently visible, but not protruding like a varicose vein. When I run my fingernail over it it feels like it corresponds with an ever so slight cleft, I suspect this is where two neighboring muscles meet. I wonder if the additional girth and tenderness is due to mild necrosis or something? I remain curious and puzzled.
Thank you - super helpful video. I did have a question, please: where would you encounter an 'accessory soleus' muscle and does this differ from a soleus with a very low insertion point? Any help gratefully received!
It's a muscle sometimes found between the soleus and tibia. It might attach to the soleus or tibia, and to the calcaneal tendon or calcaneus. It seems to be a remnant of our evolutionary tree and is a little variable anatomically.
Hello, Dr. Sam I would like to know if you are taking patients or can give me some advice. i suffered an injury to my left leg that occurred on and around the tibialis. Please let me know how I can contact you or anyone else that could give me advice if anything can be done to help me, i am currently able to walk (with pain) but am wanting to know if I'm a candidate for surgery. Thank you
Could you do a vid on the sacrum. I just had an MRI and it's showing a cracked sacrum. Going for a CT scan and bone scan tomorrow morning so that my spine Doctor Mazzafaro can get exact information to see what he needs to do to get me out of pain. I did receive cortisone shots in L4 L5 facet joint area Three weeks ago. It did help but still pain and Inflammation . I am able to get around but I have to take Advil and Tylenol each morning. It's been 10 weeks since my pain started due to the fact I was laying sod and using my right leg and foot as a tamper. Not a smart move. I am 67 plus I was on Prednisone for 11 months due to very bad lung inflammation which is now all cleared up. But I believe Prednisone made my bone density below normal. Will find out tomorrow. Thank you
I have a pain on outer soleus when it meet the gastro, just a very small isolated area perpetually whenever i run alot, or even when i walk alot, or on my feet whole day, wonder what the cause of it, and any solution to this pain? i been searching for the answer and went so many PT, massages but it did not help over long time.
imateapot51 Google on what’s you said . Sound like it. But healing taking so Long and I do admit I did not give time for healing as I can’t stop running for more than 2-3 days max, in fact I run almost everyday. From your understanding , is there any tips to fasten the healing ? I tried most methods but to no good results positively unfortunately
@@simonloo1588 You won't like my advice. I am not a doctor or pt, I teach tennis. But in my life I have had chronic tendinitis and once I had it high up on my achilles tendon. I had a mri done so it was confirmed. If your soleus was injured it would heal faster. The only way to get over tendinitis is to get the rate of repair faster than the rate of damage. You could stop running, and even wrap it up and use crutches to get around - and 4 weeks later it would still hurt, but 8 weeks later if may be better. I would check out some PT's depending on Covid in your area and they can help with the rate of repair. Friction massages, untra sound or what ever they do these days. But you are in charge of limiting the rate of damage. For my achilles injury I did calf stretches all day long.
How in the world can you make yourself run 100 miles when you know how gloriously you’re made? Every time you come down on your foot it’s 250 pounds pounding on that precious foot. It just doesn’t compute.
You are the best, most clear anatomy teacher on TH-cam
Totally agree 🙏🏽💜🖖🏾
Absolutely true
He’s the reason why I’m passing my myology course 😂
to be very honest
No he is not.
Dr. Sam, you are a gift to anyone who wants to know more about their own body. Hope your race went well!
You are amazing! I am in a Doctorate Physical Therapy program and you are helping immensely ! Cheers

Hi Sam. Another great video. Thanks for supporting MacMillan. One of my favourite charities too. Just want to make some additional points.
