Course Overview
This 2-day anatomy and cadaver webinar is an amazing integration of sports medicine functional anatomy and TCM channel sinews (jingjin) channel theory. Each day of this workshop is divided into distinct morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session consists of didactic presentations on Functional Anatomy and Anatomy of the Sinew Channels that are integrated to focus on the functional relationship between neuromuscular anatomy and the myofascial jingjin tissues and their relationship to the neck, shoulder and upper extremity. This information is followed by the afternoon session that consists of: 1) Assessment, 2) Motor Point Location and Protocols, 3) Cadaver Presentations.
Course Objectives
- Learn neck, shoulder and upper extremity myofascial pathways that correlate with the classical sinew channels of TCM and the tissues belonging to each sinew channel with their functional anatomy relationship.
- Learn in theory how to determine which my myofascial sinew channels need to be assessed and treated for musculoskeletal injury.
- Learn normal and abnormal movement patterns of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity and its relationship to the shoulder girdle.
- The practitioner will learn nerve pathways, dermatomal distributions and muscle myotomes in relationship to channel topography.
- The practitioner will learn postural, functional and muscle imbalances that can lead to pain and dysfunction based on TCM theory.

You will not find a better programme that combines classical acupuncture traditions with modern, evidence based practice. If youve been in practice for two years or two decades, this will make you a better practitioner.

Amazing content, learned so many new concepts!
Sandy R.
The work Matt and Brian do is an invaluable asset to our community. Their integration of the traditional channel systems and sinew channels with current understanding of anatomy, fascial trains, and kinesiology takes the sciences of Eastern and Western system beyond what either are likely to achieve independently. To me, their work is a missing link, demystifying many of the obscurities of classical point descriptions by showing how and why some of these seemingly obscure connections do what they do.

This in-depth look at sinew channel anatomy is, frankly, necessary is you desire to be an truly effective and efficient orthopedic acupuncture practitioner.

This course will give you a much deeper understanding of what acupuncture can really do. Your skill in treating pain will increase exponentially, along with your ability to communicate to your patients. This will be a game-changer. Worth every penny.
