Course Overview
This 2-day class highlights how the channel sinews (jingjin) also known in modern day as myofascial sequences organize efficient movement patterns and balance the major joint structures of the low back, hip and groin. Focus is on understanding how imbalances in these channels can contribute to pain and injury. Western assessment will be taught and practiced with TCM based acupuncture treatment and channel theory applied for the practitioner to discover measurable differences.
Objectives
-
Learn how low back, hip and groin myofascial pathways correlate with functional anatomy.
-
Learn the tissues belonging to each sinew channel and 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 low back, hip and groin and its relationship to the sinew channels.

I have just finished taking the low back, hip, and groin module of the SMAC program after complete the first module on the Spine earlier this year. I suppose I am not writing this review as a specific recommendation for the low back, hip, and groin (although I would), but more for the Sports Medicine Acupuncture Program as a whole. The deep dive into anatomy and physiology is invaluable for practice as an acupuncturist, and the information contained in these CEU's is imperative for such education. While some of the information might be easier to learn and integrate with a hand's on class, the amount of knowledge is overwhelming for a single session and I am glad to have the ability to rewatch the videos on net of knowledge. That is actually my plan. To spend the last half of the year reviewing and practicing the first two CEU's then at the beginning of next year I plan to get the SMAC CEU's on the lower extremity and upper extremity. It is a practice, but if you are looking to level up your clinical abilities this is an excellent place to start.
