Popliteus Strain

Do you feel tightness on the back of your knees? Hamstrings tight? Trouble walking up stairs?

In this video, Ceazar walks through an issue called a popliteus strain. Ceazar assesses the area for where the tension is coming from, and performs a muscle release technique to lengthen out the popliteus.

When a muscle stops performing at its best, the surrounding muscles kick in to take over the work, resulting in tightness in the hamstring, gastrocnemius (calves), and soleus.

If you have this issue, the best thing to do is to have a professional examine and prescribe a stretching routine to relax and lengthen tight muscles.
