I've got a sore calf from too much running on tarmac. Let's have a look at the anatomical structures in the posterior leg (calf) and work out what's going on. There are 2 layers of muscles, a superficial vein and nerve to look at, and a neuromuscular bundle between the muscle layers.

Dear Mr Webster, thank you so much for making these Videos! I'm a med student from Germany and I have an exam coming up on Monday and your videos have helped soooo much!! I have spent quite some time looking for Videos like these, with good models and I'm happy I found your channel. They are just perfect for visualization of the most important aspects of each part/organ. And I really like your somewhat funny way of teaching, it's so nice. So please keep on making more Videos, I'll be watching them all. And good look with your preparation for your run, take care of that sore soleus muscle :)

Hi Sam. Another great video. Thanks for supporting MacMillan. One of my favourite charities too. Just want to make some additional points. A flabby Achilles Heel is often a sign of high cholesterol so may be time to get a test. Achilles, the Greek god, was killed by an arrow at the heel. A Gastrocnemius or Achilles strain means stubbornness or fear of change particularly with regard to family or similar relationships.

I'm Brazilian and I'm so addicted to your videos, you are amazing. I came here to learn about my own problem. I lost dorsiflexion after a hernia L4/L5 two years ago; but it doesn't look like the foot drop video. I have strength and sensibility but my calcaneal doesn't touch the floor when I walk. I tried botox injections, calf, phisioterapy, but didn't work. Also, my Achilles doesn't look shortened in MRI. I'm so lost

Wauuu...🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 For one thing, while many people do calf stretches and exercises they don’t think much about developing the front of the shin, tibialis anterior. Which is where walking comes in. The tibialis anterior is a key muscle in walking and a person that walks well probably need not think about working this muscle because proper gait patterns keep tibialis anterior toned and supple. But this blog exists to tell you that you don’t walk correctly. People that stand and walk well create a natural balance between the calf and the front of the shin that allows the achilles tendon to live a fairly uncomplicated life. Instead one of two misalignments is likely to be happening: A hyperextended knee which angles the achilles tendon chronically backwards. Tights hips which pull the knee and shins sideways when walking force the achilles sideways as well. Either of these two factors-hyperextension and tight hips-can lead to a chronically stressed and short achilles tendon that might well break down in an acute situation when you need a burst of speed. Walking, standing and running require the feet to land under the knees, which allows the achilles tendon to work smoothly. instagram.com/p/Bw8og0-n9qA/?igshid=187k27ds09mkz

When you rupture the plantaris, it shrivels up and your body gets rid of it eventually. But does it also tear fascia and can the remnants hit nerves? When I did this to my left leg my PT asked me - how can you walk six miles without pain and then you sit with your leg up extended and your leg seizes up in lot of pain. I think they did not believed me. Now I am going through this with my right leg.

I like your clips.tell me If one had twisted ankle on the calcaneus area several times and was a runner thousands of Kim’s llot of marathons and maybe affected the Achilles tendon..I don’t know..I guess I got an unstable foot for years...what’s best to do? ..I find relief in stretching the calves ...but the pain and instability doesn’t disappear for so long now about 6 -8 years now. I have supinated 🦶 and twisted externally of course ..had also an external meniscus tear on that knee but that is practically cured..quads and hamstrings well trained. Thank you 🙏

Could you do a vid on the sacrum. I just had an MRI and it's showing a cracked sacrum. Going for a CT scan and bone scan tomorrow morning so that my spine Doctor Mazzafaro can get exact information to see what he needs to do to get me out of pain. I did receive cortisone shots in L4 L5 facet joint area Three weeks ago. It did help but still pain and Inflammation . I am able to get around but I have to take Advil and Tylenol each morning. It's been 10 weeks since my pain started due to the fact I was laying sod and using my right leg and foot as a tamper. Not a smart move. I am 67 plus I was on Prednisone for 11 months due to very bad lung inflammation which is now all cleared up. But I believe Prednisone made my bone density below normal. Will find out tomorrow. Thank you
