Superficial Front line

This comprises of 2 lines.

The lower line

It passes through muscles including the:

• Short and long toe extensors
• Tibilialis Anterior ( a muscle of the anterior compartmetn of the lower leg)
• Quadriceps

The Upper line

It passes through muscles including the:

• Rectus Abdominus
• Sternal fascia
• Sternocleidomastoid
• Scalp Fascia (worth mentioning as it covers the skull and merges and entwines into the neck)

The SFL is responsible for holding us upright and for creating flexion of the torso and hips, and dorsal flexion of the foot. Weakness in this line can be responsible for a forward tilted and rotated pelvis.

How to lengthen and strengthen the SFL

Exercises like the camel pose, superman, deep open lunges, anything that you feel is lengthening this line and you’ll notice how the SBL and SFL work in counterparts. one side is strengthening creating isometric tone as the other is lengthening.

You can play with many stretch poses to enhance a fascia stretch. Here are a few examples:
