Great videos ! Is there any stretches or exercises we should be doing to benefit the aggravation from the popliteus muscle? I am a runner, have been for over 30 years and recently miles have decreased due to discomfort on this muscle. Also, my knee is swollen at times.
Thank you for tuning in, @carmengomez-munoz4723.

The healing time for a popliteus injury can vary significantly depending on the severity of the strain or tear and individual factors like a person's overall health, age, and ability to rest the affected area. 1. Mild Strains (Grade I): These are minor tears of the muscle fibers. Recovery time can be relatively quick, typically ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks with proper rest and treatment. 2. Moderate Strains (Grade II): These involve a partial tearing of the muscle fibers. The recovery for moderate strains might take several weeks to a couple of months. The use of physiotherapy and guided rehabilitation exercises can help speed up the recovery process. 3. Severe Strains (Grade III): These are characterized by a complete tear of the muscle or tendon and may require several months to heal. In some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary, followed by a lengthy rehabilitation period. The key to healing is to allow enough time for the injury to repair itself before returning to full activity. This often includes: - Rest: Avoiding activities that cause pain or discomfort. - Ice: Applying ice packs to reduce swelling and inflammation. - Compression: Using compression bandages to provide support. - Elevation: Keeping the injured leg elevated to reduce swelling. - Rehabilitation: Engaging in physiotherapy and exercises to restore strength and flexibility once the initial pain and swelling have decreased. Consulting with a healthcare provider for a personalized diagnosis and recovery plan is crucial. They can provide specific guidance on what to expect for your individual situation. Remember, returning to full activity too soon can delay healing and potentially lead to chronic issues.
Hi Doctor! 5 years ago I sustained an injury that began with a hamstring overuse injury that snowballed into something bigger to the point I couldn't straighten the leg and was very painful behind the knee and couldn't walk well. I've had MRI's done but they never show anything the ortho could work with. I've seen other videos like these here on yt but the chiros/pt's I've seen do regular physical therapy exercises/spine/adjustments. What kind of chiro or pt would I have to look for that deal with this kind of treatment in the video. It's hard to find one here in Los Angeles, at least for me. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hello, thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, as of now, we haven't trained anyone in the Los Angeles area to perform the techniques shown in the video. A potential resource could be the Active Release website, where you may find a practitioner familiar with these techniques. You are welcome to share my video with them for reference. Meanwhile, I would like to recommend reading one of my blog posts titled “Popliteus Muscle - “The Key of the Knee” www.motionspecificrelease.com/post/2019/06/19/popliteus-muscle-e2809cthe-key-of-the-kneee2809d.

Hi Brian! Amazing video I do have back knee pain. I stretch piriformis and psoas and it seems to realease but when i go with depp split squat there is a nerve between the two headbones that pinches me so sharply in the middle of the back knee. i do have also high patella Salvati index:1,71). My question is: why do you choose that position to work with patient. Why don't you stand up? I am making a massage course and my lumbar zone is suffering a little when I give a massage. Thanks! Amazing channel and amazing content! Way to go!
Hi Gastón Osvaldo Monserrat Suarez: Thanks for the comments. Here is a previous video we produced in the standing position. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/DvNfOpchvFU/видео.html
Hello Brain, is this muscle the cause for clicking behind the knees? I have been experiencing a non painful clicking behind my knee, but it does make my knee feel restricted. I believe it’s my ligaments or tendons clicking, but I am not really sure what is going in the back of my knee. If you can give me any guidance or your thoughts in how to make this clicking stop.
Hi Teniola: I can not make comments on specific cases without performing a physical examination. You may want to check out the blog I wrote on the subject. Cheers! www.motionspecificrelease.com/post/2019/06/19/popliteus-muscle-e2809cthe-key-of-the-kneee2809d
Hello @realisticequestrian8229, Thank you for watching the video! While I can't provide specific advice without a physical examination and full medical history, I can share that for cases involving fused ankles, practitioners often focus on optimizing mobility in the surrounding joints and improving overall function. It's always best to consult with a healthcare provider for an individualized approach. Best regards, Dr. Brian Abelson DC
Short and sweet. Thank you for that!
You are welcome!

What profession should I go to for this procedure ???? PLZ
Thanks for watching @elizabethfraser2996. MSR is multidisciplinary, this could be a chiropractor, physiotherapist, osteopath and certain RMT's.

Thank you,, what state are you located?
Sir how many times should we release for the patient in one session
Hi Ami Shah: This is a demonstration video for the Motion Specific Release courses we teach. Cheers!
What do you do for clients with fused ankles that can't rotate the foot inwards? Asking for a friend 🥲
