🟧 the popliteus muscle serves as a 'key' which unlocks the knee to initiate movement when the leg is straight to a flex position. This muscle also provides protection and stability to the back of the knee and assist with knee flexion when the leg is not on the ground. These stretches with or without resistance can help when this muscle is in spasm or tight. See your doctor for pain in the back of the knee or prior to performing exercises.

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
