Out of the following, which is not classified as a weak primarily phasic muscle?

The wrist and elbow flexors are considered tonic muscles rather than phasic, which is why they do not fit the classification of weak primarily phasic muscles. Tonic muscles are typically more involved in maintaining posture and supporting joints, making them prone to overuse and tightness, which can lead to weakness relative to phasic muscles.

Phasic muscles, on the other hand, such as the diaphragm, hip abductors, and rectus abdominis, tend to become weak over time due to underuse, particularly when there is a lack of engagement or demand for their function. These muscles are primarily responsible for movements rather than postural stability, which is why they can be reclassified as weak if not regularly used in activities that require their engagement.

Understanding the distinction between tonic and phasic muscle classifications helps in identifying which muscles may need strengthening or stretching during a massage therapy session or rehabilitation plan.
