Erector spinae (back muscles)

[@Mark-ow6xr]

I am a doctor who practiced for 37 years. When attending anatomy class we had cadavers that were preserved in formaldehyde. The lab room stunk and after a few hours your eyes began to burn. The use of these amazing models and professors that have a passion for teaching will turn out doctors with a higher understanding of there patients. In my practice 80% of problems seen were musculoskeletal issues and with this knowledge in the beginning of instruction is incredibly useful.

[@justavirgo]

As a med student now in anatomy I’m praying for these plastic models, cause as fun as studying with real cadavers are, I’m crying every class over the cadaver

[@josephdilorenzo5314]

This is a wonderful teacher with a great personality and charismatic.

[@idkanaccountname]

I’ve been a doctor for 38 years, and I disagree.

[@sam08g16]

It's amazing that all this knowledge is being shared by specialists for free on KZbin. What a time we live in! Thank you for such a great lesson.

[@a_fortiori_]

Yet we leave in a time where thousands of our fellow man (incl medical staff, journalists, civilians) are wiped out in months by an aggressor and the US government invites the head of that govt to speak in their highest house of power. Sad times. YT is censoring comments to manipulate the narrative. 🇵🇸

[@janredfern1180]

I teach anatomy and physiology and I'm drooling over the vast array of high quality anatomical models you have available

I'm doing a yoga teacher training right now and just discovered your channel. All very informative, made simple and explained clearly. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate your videos. There aren't many like this. Very helpful. 🙏

[@beyza2558]

Hi! I am Turkish and second class medicine student. Your videos are realy helpfull to me. My English is not that great but your English is as smoot as I can understand. If I said something wrong sory. I just wanted to say thanks😊

[@uniboldsilver]

you are incredible at making this simple!

[@alicebeese4298]

It's a funny new fascination watching yours and somanauts anatomy videos. they're SO moreish. I could watch them for hours. I'm a massage therapist and we did a 4hr anatomy, pathology and physiology exam with the Massage training Institute but that was all 6 years ago now and I'm seeing clients for massage most days so these videos are all invaluable help with my CPD. Thanks Sam. Also great to see you walked the Pembrokeshire Coast Path - I'm from St Davids! If you EVER have any public days in the lab sign me up, I'll be there with bells on!

[@nickfranklin6495]

Very good style, intelligent fellow. Although I'm a layman on anatomy I can say that the constant pain is simple but the relationships between the causes (back, respiration, rib cage alignment, core, hips) combine to make a complex puzzle that cause millions mental fatigue from all those zaps and jabs. So, students shouldn't begrudge the subject too much, its a heavy hitter in more ways than one! To put it in perspective: After a few years of what i used to call "oh, me back!" I corrected it to the less fashionable "aah, me hips". Discovering the possible contribution from QL made some improvement, I am now considering whether "oh, me back!" may be closer to the truth. My latest search is into the erector spinae, which has led me here. The zaps arent so bad as at least they tend to hit and its over. The trickiest element is the injection like jab received about a third of the way between the top of the iliac crest down the butt over to the side. I get this on both left and right cheeks (this may be due to two separate injuries). These jabs occur all day long, to the point where you begin to weigh up the pros and cons of most simple movements and tasks you perform throughout the day. As soon as you lean forward over a sink or a car bonnet or bend slightly to pick something up, it gives you the nip. It feels like a cord passes from the mid-back over the iliac crest and is tethered somewhere in the glutes. When you bend and start putting weight on the back, rather than the thighs, that cord then complains immediately. It is probably worse when on your knees because you are unable to take much load on your thighs. I have come across quite a few people who describe it this way, but surprisingly the solution is a much harder search.

[@paulpetherbridge5448]

Thanks Sam, i was a bricklayer in my younger days and I now am learning massage .After watching this video it really points out why we get so stiff and sore ,so many layers and groups of muscles .

[@erinmilitello7748]

[@dmytroorso]

Thank you for some top-level anatomy classes. Couldn’t find something better. You explain and everything just makes sense now

[@Kim-ek7xy]

This was absolutely the best anatomy lesson I've ever heard. I can't wait to listen to the next one. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge on the back muscles. It helps that you are very funny and make learning interesting as well.

[@fabulouslifeinchrist1349]

I appreciate this video a lot. A lot of the other videos that come up are for massage or exercise. I don't know what you do for a living, teacher or therapist, but you are good at explaining stuff. I like that you take the time to show us the models and even remind us what medical terminology words mean. I have a big med term book I had to get out trying to watch some other videos but you remind us as you go so we can stay on topic and not get lost. Superb job.

[@spacebearj]

Omg I love you. I'm a U.S. American nursing student and I really appreciate this video. Thank you! Going to watch a bunch more of yours now!

[@flyingnun]

This has helped me confirm some muscle imbalances I have been self diagnosing. Imbalance due to a deadlift accident almost 8 years ago. My erector spinae on right side of my body is extremely weak compared to opposite side. Been rehabing slowly using a glute-ham raise, superman holds, back extensions, high rep/low weight good mornings, jefferson curls. Very slow controlled eccentric/concentric. I try and do some of these exercises in a way that it will isolate my right side but it's tricky sometimes. The video is very helpful in giving my understanding and function of the group. Thanks!

[@SamWebster]

+Michael Lee Good luck. Yeah, it sounds like you’ll be needing lots of high quality, single sided exercises. I’m doing the same for my hips to try to rebalance my posterior chain.

[@MegaMusicNotes]

I find that yoga postures effective. Stretches followed by balancing poses.

[@carlhudz]

I have exactly the same issue! My right erector spinae is so weak. I used to skateboard for years and this has caused this imbalance. Have you corrected your imbalance now?

[@lorrainemitchell3873]

Awesome anatomy class, now I understand the superficial muscles of the back as well as the deep muscle group. Great explanation!

If that sounds complex, imagine when you add in the variable of exercise and dynamic loads. This is what I studied in one of my courses for exercise coaching, and it is important for safely training other people. Adding this to supplement my courses is very helpful, Thank you

Mr. Webster! Your Awesome! Thank You Doc!

[@TechIsGods]

I watched your video to educate myself on the names and where the different back muscles are so I could apply my EMS TENS machine pads. My pain is so bad right now its hard for me to breathe in. I think its the Erector Spinae back muscles or the Latissimus Dorsi muscles. I'm sure after I apply my pads I will be pain free. I hope and pray so.

[@agskater1914]

Quick question: You mentioned that, because there is a serratus posterior inferior that there must be a serratus posterior superior. Can i assume that if a muscle is named (maybe not related to its position relative to something else but in its actual name) with "inferior" or "superior" that there is a similar muscle to compliment it as given with the serratus posterior muscles? or is this one of a few cases where this happens? Thank you whether you decide answer this question or not as i'm loving these videos.

[@alicelee1446]

Whever i get up for my chair or bend over, when i start to straighten up i get a sharp pain across middle of my back, i then have to stop myself and resit or rise slowly to stop from 'locking up' and when i get up i have a dull ache across the top of my buttocks/waistline similar to sciatica. I get pain from neck down to butt and either side.

I'm really interested by your videos, and could you please recommend some books or apps regarding to muscle and especially the methods to identify problematic muscles that hurts in a specific movement or posture. I recently hurt my back muscle and find it difficult to identify if it's erector spinae muscle or other back muscles.

[@solmma]

thank you, Sam! Iºm not a professional at all. Iºm trying to find a muscle, or muscles that could widen (? make it wider) the spaces between the vertebraes is there specific ones to do that? To strech the spine upwards? Would that be the ªtransversal spinal musclesª youºve mentioned in this video? would you have specific videos on the muscles I need to know?

[@TravelinArt-y2f]

When you talk about the erector spinae muscles, would a good body weight exercise for these group of musclea be just bending over and coming back up?

[@ToOvOxo]

Correct me if I am wrong. Deep breathing reaches into deep layered muscles therefore relaxing body and mind. The opposite should also be true.
