Bradley Blair Osteopath on Instagram: "🦴 The Supraspinatus Tension Line Explained!

The supraspinatus muscle, a vital part of the rotator cuff, plays an essential role in shoulder function. Originating from the supraspinous fossa of the scapula and inserting on the greater tubercle of the humerus, its fibres create a unique tension line that drives shoulder movement 

Anatomy Highlights:
	•	Function: Initiates shoulder abduction (first 15-30 degrees) and contributes to dynamic stabilisation of the glenohumeral joint.
	•	Fibre Orientation: Runs laterally and slightly upward, enabling it to pull the humeral head securely into the glenoid fossa.
	•	Coordination: Works synergistically with the infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis to maintain balanced movement and joint protection.
