What I do at my work breaking ?
You might catch me doing my own medical acupuncture 🤣
Personally I think medical acupuncture is the most efficient soft tissue release technique. I do love a good acupuncture session on myself . Today is the sartorius which sometimes affect my running . Sartorius muscle — a long, thin, superficial muscle that runs down the length of the thigh in the human body.

Here are some quick facts about the sartorius muscle:
• Location: It spans from the anterior superior iliac spine (pelvis) to the medial surface of the tibia (just below the knee).
• Function: It helps in flexing, abducting, and laterally rotating the hip, and also assists in flexing the knee.
• Nickname: Often called the “tailor’s muscle” because it helps assume the cross-legged sitting position (like tailors used to sit).
• Shape: It’s the longest muscle in the human body.

When It’s Working Well:
• Smooth leg swing: It helps lift your leg and rotate your hip slightly out, making your stride more fluid.
• Efficient knee drive: Since it aids in hip and knee flexion, it contributes to proper form during your leg’s forward motion.
• Better agility: Because it assists in outward hip rotation and abduction, it’s especially helpful in trail running, sprinting, or sudden changes in direction.
• Pelvic stabilization: It works with other muscles to stabilize your pelvis and thigh, reducing wobble or overcompensation.

When It’s Tight, Weak, or Injured:

1. Shortened Stride
• A tight sartorius can limit hip flexion, shortening your stride and making your run feel stiff or choppy.

2. Knee or Inner Thigh Pain
• It crosses both the hip and knee joints, so strain or irritation can cause pain on the inside of the knee or thigh, especially when lifting the knee or landing.

3. Compensation Injuries
• If it’s not functioning well, other muscles (like the hip flexors or quads) overcompensate, potentially leading to groin pulls, IT band issues, or hip pain.

4. Reduced Agility
• You might feel clumsy on uneven surfaces or when making lateral movements (e.g., dodging, cutting), since the sartorius helps with those fine stabilizing actions.
