Episode 154: "Reducing knee pain with Popliteus release" The popliteus is a muscle that runs from the lateral epicondyle of the femur to the posterior surface of the tibia. Because of its orientation, it internally rotates the tibia and externally rotates the femur. This action allows the knee to become “unlocked,” taking the knee from an extended (straight) position to a flexed (bent) one. The significance an injury to the popliteus is particularly relevant to serious runners and triathletes. W

The popliteus, the tiny muscle of knee pain, has been known to contract at 300% of normal after knee surgery or injury. The popliteus, when that tight, can impinge the tibial and peroneal nerves and cause numbness in the foot. NKT often finds the popliteus overworking and the quads underworking, as well as the popliteus overworking and the glutes underworking. This blog highlights those relationships and more. https://neurokinetictherapy.com/the-popliteus-the-tiny-muscle-of-knee-pain/ (Link in p

Feel that soreness BEHIND the knee when going up & down the stairs? It’s Popliteus Tendinopathy. PT is the breakdown of the popliteus tendon – a small tendon connecting the back and outer side of your knee… The one responsible for stabilizing your knee and helping you bend it smoothly. Here’s how it happens: ➡️ Step 1: Estrogen drops after 40, disrupting collagen production – the protein that keeps tendons strong and elastic. ➡️ Step 2: Your popliteus tendon weakens and stiffens over time. ➡️ St
