Sometimes doing what‘s best for the patient will go against dogma and tradition. And sometimes leaning more on science than on dogma will ruffle feathers and contradict the gurus and scholars of Traditional Acupuncture. That‘s OK! There‘s room for many styles and there are enough patients for all of us! I graduated at the top of my class with a Master‘s and a Doctorate in Traditional Chinese Acupuncture. I know the benefits of Traditional Acupuncture for many many conditions. But if you want fast and excellent results treating chronic pain, sports injury, over-use injury, flexibility and mobility, that is what I‘m passionate about and I‘m not going to apologize for great results or for sharing what I‘ve learned from Western Medicine using Acupuncture. The topics here will not be controversial unless you insist on holding onto dogma instead of being open to something new to you and that is based in science.

Skeletal Muscle is Elastic, Excitable and Contractile. Does Electric Stimulation Acupuncture at the Motor Points of the muscle restore those qualities after injury has made the muscle short, weak and inhibited?
The German word for "numb" is "taub". I think muscle inhibition may be due to the muscle being deaf, not listening to the nerve signals. What if it's not the nerve, but the muscle that is causing muscle inhibition?

You and I have probably already seen it daily in the clinic. Gluteus medius and minimus get very tight and they restrict the hip and cause pain.
We have always heard that the glutes get inhibited. But when it comes to the glute medius and minimus, while they might be inhibited they are also short and tight like other postural muscles.
Research backs up that the glute med and minimus are primarily Type 1 slow twitch fibers like other postural muscles.

This is a very effective technique I use for muscles that feel restricted and that don't release with just motor point acupuncture or IASTM.

I got some feedback from several people about the Sydney course and wanted to share that.
Also, I want to give my opinion about how Janda influences my thoughts about adding or not adding extra needles for local inflammation.

I probably don't assess hips the way you were taught to assess hips.
I organize my thoughts around the assumption that the glutes are weak and don't need me to muscle test them. If they were firing, the patient wouldn't be in my office with hip issues.

Are you forgetting to test the lats for shoulder flexion and abduction issues? What about for low back issues? Inhibited abs and serratus anterior? QL injury?
