LIVE EVENT - Anatomical Perspectives in the Treatment of Lower Extremity Pain
by Whitfield Reaves
In sports acupuncture, it is often important to find the precise point to treat injury, pain, and dysfunction. In this course we will include additional protocols that complement these treatments, providing both enhanced healing & reducing reinjury.
LIVE EVENT - Anatomical Perspectives in the Treatment of Lower Extremity Pain
Course Overview
This is a Live Webinar event that will be held on May 1, 2024 - 1am BST, 2am CEST, 3am IDT.In this course, Whitfield Reaves will present common needle and point combinations that complement treating lower extremity injury, pain, and dysfunction. One or more of these easy-to-understand treatments can be included in your overall plan for knee, leg, and foot pain.
These complementary protocols target postural muscles, motor points, and trigger points that frequently develop adjacent to injury. Also included are points for correcting biomechanics and supporting proper functional movement patterns. Or, the all important objectives of stabilization of the pelvis and correcting postural imbalances. These numerous protocols make sense, and can easily be included in your pain treatment protocols.
The following will be covered in this course:
1. Pelvic stability: The gluteus medius at the extraordinary point Jiankua
2. Releasing contracted postural muscles – the hamstring group at Bladder 37
3. Targetting running gait at Bladder 57 zone
4. Correcting running gait at the ankle joint at Gall Bladder 40
5. Correcting foot biomechanics with the abductor hallucis at the region of Kidney 2
6. Clear excess in the tendino-muscle meridians – the 3 leg yang jing-well points
7. Clear the channels – the crossed shu-stream points
8. Correcting lower extremity muscle function:
Rectus femoris - Stomach 31
Vastus medialis atrophy - Baichongwo
Tibialis anterior - Stomach 36
Peroneal group - Gall Bladder 34
Tibialis posterior - Spleen 7
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
Course Objectives
- Understand the points used for pelvic stability and proper foot biomechanics
- Understand the Chinese medicine use of some distal points for injury, pain, and dysfunction
- Be able to describe acupuncture points that activate muscle function
- Understand which points and anatomical tissues can support running gait and correct biomechanics
Course Outline
May 1, 2024 - 1am BST, 2am CEST, 3am IDT (3 hrs)Location and how to needle the point Jiankua, and the functions of the muscle the gluteus medius that it is located in.Location and how to needle the point Bladder 37, and the functions of the muscle the hamstring that it is located in.Location and how to needle the point Kidney 2, and the functions of the muscle the abductor hallucis that it is located in.Understand four acupuncture points (Stomach 36, Gall Bladder 34, Spleen 7, and Baichongwo) that activate the muscle that they are located inUnderstand the jing-well points and the shu-stream points, and how to use them in complementing the treatment of pain.Be able to describe why Gall Bladder 40 is useful locally for the ankle as well as for the entire lower extremity.
