Stretch Practitioner Certification Training Practice Test

The triceps sit on the back of the upper arm, running from the shoulder region down to the elbow and responsible for extending the elbow. So the correct placement for working with the triceps is the backside of the arm. Placing on the front targets the biceps, the side of the neck involves neck muscles, and the back of the shoulder covers the posterior deltoid area—not the triceps belly. Understanding this orientation helps ensure you address the intended muscle during assessment or treatment.
