👉️The saphenous nerve is a sensory 🪶banch ouf the femoral nerve and runs under the sartorius muscle.⁠
⁠
🫣⚡️Hitting the saphenous nerve with dry needling can result in the following sensation to the skin:⁠
⁠
Along the medial knee, medial calf, the inside of the ankle - including the medial malleolus, and the inner arch of the foot🦶.

05/01/2026

🤫Because of the saphenous nerve⚡️, which runs manly under the sartorius muscle and is one of the precautions, dry needling of this muscle is done with the pincer grip🤌.⁠
⁠
⚠️The other precautions for the sartorius muscle are:⁠
🔹Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve⁠
🔹Femoral artery and vein⁠
🔹Femoral nerve⁠
🔹Lymph nodes⁠
🔹Hip joint⁠
🔹Knee joint⁠
✔️

Here are the right answers:⁠
⁠
1 Levator Scapulae Muscle⁠
2 Serratus Posterior Superior Muscle⁠
3 Rhomboideus Muscle⁠
4 Serratus Anterior Muscle⁠
5 Serratus Posterior Infertior Muscle⁠
6 Multifidi and Rotator Muscles⁠
⁠
Congratulations 👏🎉 well done! 🏆️

Let's have the last anatomy quiz in 2025 🎉😊👍️:⁠
Can you identify These muscles?⁠
⁠
Let's go for it! 💪

23/12/2025

👉️Here you see the referred pain pattern of the sartorius muscle:⁠
it runs over the muscle - from its origin to the insertion in the region of the medial aspect of the knee.⁠
⁠
As you remember💡🤫, there are other muscles, causing referred pain in parts of the referred pain area of the sartorius muscle, such as vastus medialis muscle and adductor longus muscle.⁠
⁠
👍️So don't forget to check sartorius muscles for triggerpoints with patients that have pain in this area✔️

21/12/2025

The sartorius muscle is a superficial muscle, overlying the quadriceps femoris muscle in a spiral way🦵⁠
⁠
Its origin📍 is the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and it inserts 📍at the medial surface of the tibia and at the pes anserinus superficialis.⁠
⁠
The muscle is innervated ⚡️by the femoral nerve and it has several functions in the hip and knee joint:⁠
⁠
🔹Flexion, external rotation and abduction of the hip joint⁠
🔹Internal rotation of the knee joint⁠
🔹Medial stabilisation of the knee⁠
🔹Assists in flexion of the knee joint

18/12/2025

Here are the right answers:⁠
⁠
1 Supraspinatus Muscle✔️⁠
2 Deltoid Muscle✔️⁠
3 Infraspinatus Muscle✔️⁠
4 Teres Minor Muscle✔️⁠
5 Teres Major Muscle✔️⁠
6 Latissimus Dorsi Muscle✔️⁠
⁠
Congratulations 👏 well done🎉

Let's do another anatomy quiz:⁠
Can you identify These muscles?⁠
⁠
👉️ anatomy is essential for dry needling 🤓

12/12/2025

The median nerve passes between the two heads of the pronator teres muscle into the forearm ↙️⁠
⁠
This is, where Trigger points in the pronator teres muscle can cause an entrapment of the median nerve 😫⚡️⁠
⁠
As the entrapment in this area is not such a common condition, it is maybe easily overlooked and mistaken for the more prevalent carpal tunnel syndrome.🕵️⁠
⁠
💡So don't forget to check this muscle in any case, when symptoms in relation to the median nerve occur✔️

09/12/2025

The median nerve is a mixed nerve, that provides motor💪 functions to the forearm, wrist and hand and sensory🪶⚡️function to the hand.⁠
It is the only nerve, that passes through the carpal tunnel and can be compressed there, what can result in a carpal tunnel syndrome.⁠
⁠
The sensory branches of the median nerve provide sensation to the skin of the palmar and dorsal side of the hand and finger - as you can see it in the picture.⁠
⁠
🤫💡So now I have one question for you:⁠
Do you remember, which muscle can cause an entrapment of the median nerve in the area of the upper forearm❓️❔️❓️

05/12/2025

Safety in dry needling is the highest priority for the DGSA ⚠️

That's why it is very important to know, where the course of nerves are running in the body - and that's what we show you at our courses 👈️

As we don't want to hit any nerves with dry needling⚡️

Learn more about safety in dry needling at our courses and in our 100+ dry needling video tutorials 🎞️⁠💪

02/12/2025

Here are the right answers:⁠
⁠
1 Longissimus Muscle✔️⁠
2 Iliocostalis Muscle✔️⁠
3 Latissimus Dorsi Muscle✔️⁠
4 Gluteus Medius Muscle✔️⁠
5 Gluteus Maximus Muscle✔️⁠
⁠
Congratulations 👏🎉 good job!
