Surface anatomy bridges textbook knowledge with the living human body. 🤍
It allows us to identify underlying bones, muscles, vessels, and nerves through visible and palpable landmarks on the skin.
A strong understanding of surface anatomy is fundamental for accurate clinical examination, safe injections, effective procedures, and precise diagnosis—what we observe and feel directly guides our treatment decisions.
Swipe through the illustrations and challenge yourself to recognize key anatomical landmarks. đź‘€
Anatomy becomes truly powerful when knowledge is applied to real human movement and structure.
Follow PHYSICALTHERAPYNEED for clear visuals, simplified concepts, and strong clinical correlations.

Anatomy is far more than memorizing structures from textbooks—it is a discipline of careful observation. Surface anatomy trains the eye and hands to recognize landmarks, muscle contours, and movement patterns, allowing us to truly read the human body. By understanding what lies beneath the skin through observation, clinicians can assess more accurately, treat more effectively, and connect structure with function in real practice.

The Tianzong point is located in the depression on the inner side of the scapula. Massaging it helps relax the shoulders and back, relieve tension and heaviness, and bring a comfortable and expansive feeling.

Dupuytren’s Contracture – When the Hand Slowly Tightens
Dupuytren’s contracture is a progressive hand condition that affects the connective tissue beneath the skin of the palm and fingers.
Over time, this tissue thickens and shortens, gradually pulling the fingers toward the palm — most commonly the ring finger and little finger — making it difficult to fully straighten the hand.
What Happens Inside the Hand?
âś” Thick fibrous bands (cords) develop under the palm
âś” These cords slowly tighten
âś” One or more fingers bend inward and stay there
âś” Hand extension becomes limited with time
Common Signs to Watch For
🔹 Small lumps or nodules in the palm
🔹 Tight cords felt under the skin
🔹 Fingers gradually bending toward the palm
🔹 Usually painless, but movement becomes restricted
Who Is More Likely to Develop It?
Dupuytren’s contracture is more common in:
â–Ş Adults over 40
â–Ş Men
â–Ş People with a family history
â–Ş Individuals with diabetes
â–Ş Smokers or heavy alcohol users
⚠️ It is NOT caused by injury or hand overuse.
Is It Serious?
While not life-threatening, Dupuytren’s contracture can interfere with daily activities such as:
✍ Writing
🤝 Shaking hands
🧴 Gripping objects
📱 Using tools or phones
The condition usually progresses slowly over years.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on severity:
âś… Observation (mild cases)
âś… Injections to soften the cords
âś… Needle procedures to release tight bands
âś… Surgery for advanced cases
âś… Hand therapy to restore movement and function
Early diagnosis and proper rehabilitation can greatly improve hand function.

🔹 A Body Bent… But a Spirit Unbroken
• In Shandong, China, a young man named Jiang Yanchen lived with a spine so severely deformed it twisted his body into a painful “Z” shape.
• He couldn’t lie flat.
He couldn’t sit normally.
Most days, he could only kneel or rest on his side.
• Pain was constant — but giving up was never an option.
• He kept studying.
He kept believing.
He even took China’s college entrance exam lying on a mat.
• Against all odds, he earned admission into Energy & Power Engineering — proving that dreams don’t need perfect bodies. 🎓
• Behind him stood a mother of pure devotion — Yu Meiying, who quit her teaching career to care for her son and shared their story online, hoping for a miracle. ❤️
• That miracle arrived through the hands of spine experts Dr. Wang Yu and Dr. Liang Yijian.
• Over two relentless years, Jiang endured four complex spinal surgeries and daily rehabilitation, as doctors slowly rebuilt what fate had broken.
• Then came August 25 — during a livestream watched by thousands…
• For the first time in his life, Jiang stood upright.
• For the first time in his life, he walked on his own.
• Doctors now call it a rare, breakthrough spinal correction.
The world calls it proof that perseverance can rewrite destiny. 🙏🩺

✋ Flexor Pulley System — Functional Hand Anatomy
🔹 Purpose
Ensures smooth, powerful finger flexion
Keeps flexor tendons closely applied to the phalanges
Prevents bowstringing
Maximizes grip strength and efficiency
🔹 Structural Components
Flexor tendons
Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS)
Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP)
Ligamentous pulley system
Palmar aponeurosis
5 Annular pulleys (A1–A5)
Formed by transverse fibers
Provide strong tendon restraint
3 Cruciform pulleys (C1–C3)
Formed by oblique fibers
Allow flexibility during finger movement
➡️ Together, these structures maintain tendon alignment throughout finger motion.
🔹 Functional Anatomy
FDS tendon
Splits at the proximal phalanx
Inserts on the sides of the middle phalanx
Produces PIP joint flexion
FDP tendon
Passes centrally through the FDS split
Inserts on the distal phalanx
Produces DIP joint flexion
🔹 Clinical Relevance
Key in understanding:
Trigger finger
Pulley injuries
Flexor tendon lacerations
Essential knowledge for:
Hand surgery
Rehabilitation
Clinical anatomy exams

The mastoid region is located behind the ear and covers the attachment point of the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It is closely related to neck stability, head rotation, and postural control. If you keep your head down for a long time or experience concentrated pressure, the fascia in this area is prone to tension buildup.

Through precise relaxation, the feeling of tension in the neck can be reduced, helping the head and neck return to their natural alignment and allowing the mind and senses to calm down in sync.

No one wants to be forced, and neither do muscles and fascia!

Centrifugal massage of the popliteal fossa → ankle → sole of the foot

Simulating the tension of muscles during controlled stretching, "allowing muscles to learn to relax in a safe stretch," so eccentric pushes are more like "teaching muscles to relax" rather than "forcing them to relax."

đź“Ś The Hidden Vascular Pathway of the Shoulder & Arm

Blood supply to your upper limb follows a precise and powerful route:

đź”´ Subclavian artery
➡️ becomes the Axillary artery after crossing the first rib
➡️ continues as the Brachial artery in the arm

Along the way, important branches like the thoracoacromial artery, lateral thoracic artery, and circumflex humeral arteries nourish the shoulder, chest, and arm muscles.

⚠️ Why does this matter?
The pectoralis minor muscle lies directly over the axillary artery.
When this muscle becomes tight, shortened, or overactive, it can:

• Reduce blood flow
• Cause arm heaviness or numbness
• Contribute to thoracic outlet–type symptoms
• Affect shoulder mobility and posture

âś… Clinical focus:
Restoring mobility of the pectoralis minor, improving rib–clavicle mechanics, and optimizing scapular position can significantly improve vascular and neural function of the upper limb.

🧠 Structure controls function — and circulation follows movement.
