The pes anserinus is a small but clinically important structure located on the inner side of the knee. Formed by the tendons of three muscles, the sartorius, gracilis and semitendinosus, it plays an important role in knee stability, movement and function. When irritation, overuse or inflammation occurs in this region, clients may experience pain, tenderness and reduced mobility that can affect everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs and exercise.

In this engaging online session, Professor Earle Abrahamson will provide a clear and practical introduction to the anatomy of the pes anserinus and explore its relevance to massage therapy practice. The presentation will explain where the structure is located, how it functions during movement and why it is commonly associated with knee pain in both active and less active individuals.

The session will also consider how an understanding of anatomy can help massage therapists recognise potential sources of discomfort, guide assessment and support effective treatment planning. Through the use of anatomical images, clinical examples and easy to understand explanations, participants will develop a greater appreciation of the relationship between anatomy, movement and patient care.

This presentation is suitable for qualified massage therapists, sports massage practitioners, students and anyone with an interest in musculoskeletal health who would like to strengthen their anatomical knowledge and enhance their clinical confidence.
