🟧 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.
