The Forgotten Membrane
The interosseous membrane in the forearm is a fibrous connective tissue that spans between the radius and ulna bones. It serves as a stabilizing structure, maintaining the proper alignment and relative mobility of the two bones. Dysfunction in the interosseous membrane can occur due to various factors and may contribute to forearm pain, limited mobility, or reduced functional capacity. Bodywork can be beneficial in addressing and correcting these issues. Here are some details about the anatomy and potential dysfunction of the interosseous membrane and how bodywork can help:
