Looking to start posting one anatomy "fun fact" or lesson per week, need feedback

Hey guys, I'm thinking about creating an anatomy topic once per week just to help educate everyone here a little bit. I can do muscles, nerves, plexuses, bones, joints, etc. I figured people here would be most interested in hearing about certain muscles and the related areas. Hit me with what you're interested in hearing about and I'll take that into considering when I make my posts.
 
Neck, back, knees, shoulders. Specifically for injury treatment, prevention, and pain management.

Thanks

I'm not really going to talk about treatment. I'll talk about prevention, yes, but treatment assumes you know the diagnosis and I'm not going to teach people to self-diagnose. It is frequently inaccurate, leads to incorrect treatment interventions, and can sometimes do more harm than. Good. Thanks for the input - those are some complicated areas, but I'll make my rounds to them.
 
Would subscribe. Just no particular questions, ATM.

My butt's still broke. Going tomorrow and see if they can do some deep tissue and break up possible adhesions.
 
I can't think of anything specific, but here are some general thoughts. Maybe give the anatomy reasons for why certain nutrition and exercise recommendations are given. Nutrition could involve insulin responses, digestive systems, sweat glands, etc. Exercise could involve how the specifics of joints, ligaments, tendons, lactic acid, bones, muscles, etc. contribute to exercise form and exercise programming.
 
Tell me what you know about boobies... preferably accompanied with pics and diagrams. They are afterall worth a thousand words.
 
Alright, I've decided to talk about a structure dear to my heart - the sacroiliac joint. Dysfunction at this joint caused me significant injury, which resulted in me being out of sport for over a year. I'm to talk about the structure, its support, its effect on the low back and hips (and vice versa), and how dysfunction can present. I will likely also detail things you can do to avoid SIJ pain, as I believe roughly 30% of "low back pain" alleviates with treatment of the SIJ. Sound good?
 
That sounds good to me. According to him, my brother's SIJ slips out of place from time to time, causing him to walk around hunched over for a while. I'm interested to hear more about this and how he can treat his problem.

Yeah, if he's tight one way and lax the other way, he'll by default want to go toward the lax direction. In therapy, we try to normalize the tight side and train people to have better muscular/core control so that doesn't happen.
 
Sounds great... I am suffering from low back pain myself for a couple of months now. It is getting better though but I would love to learn more on preventing this kind of injuries.

That makes sense. He only has the problem when he hasn't been exercising in a while. When his core is strong, then he never has the problem.

Yeah, exactly. When I've worked on my hip mobility and core strength, I have no problems. It's funny how that works 😛

By the way, I've realized when writing the SIJ article that I will need some pictures on some of the stretches, demonstrations, etc. Right now, I don't have anybody to do that for me. I may have to postpone the article, as I know nobody wants to read an article without pictures 😛 Maybe I'll just go into something related like technical names of joint movements (flexion, extension, etc) and some brief lower extremity anatomy to start. I can find pictures for that online fairly easy. Does that sound alright?
 
Ok, the article on general movements and planes is up. I've gotta at least have a post to link to when people have questions to ask what I mean when I say certain things. This is an intro post just to explain terms I, and other healthcare professionals, use to describe movement. It's not the most exciting post I'll make, but it is very useful when talking about movement. Here's the link:
