Serratus Posterior Superior (bit of a mouthful) is a small muscle that sits under the rhomboids, between your shoulder blades. It's an assistant breathing muscle as it's attached to the upper ribs, and also stabilises the rib cage. Trigger points can fire under the shoulder blade and down the arm. Massage can help to release them.

Appointments are available in Laingholm this week, Wednesday & Friday.

QL (quadratus lumborum) is a little muscle in the lower back that can have a huge workload, especially if core muscles aren't firing properly. It arches your back, twists side to side, hikes your hip up for walking and supports your back when you lean forward or lift things up from the ground.

Massage can help to release trigger points and relieve tension. A postural analysis can also help us work out which muscles are working too hard & which need to work harder.

This is a picture of a group of muscles called your Deep 6 lateral hip rotators. They sit directly under your Glute Max and turn your hip/foot outwards. When any of these get tight, they can fire pain into your hip, down your leg (sciatica), or make you feel like your bum is clenching & won't let go.

Massage can help release them & relieve pain.

Glute Max is the thickest muscle in your body & should be the main muscle for leg extension (squeezing your bum when you stand up from a squat) BUT it will happily coast along and let your hamstring do the work. Trigger points in glute max can cause lots of lower back & hip pain, massage can help.

Strong glutes and core protect your lower back from injury, and stop your little QL muscle from overloading.
