Course Overview
This 2-day anatomy and cadaver webinar is an amazing integration of sports medicine functional anatomy and TCM 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 spinal column. This information is followed by the afternoon session that consists of: 1) Assessment, 2) Motor Point Location and Protocols, 3) Cadaver Presentations.
Objective
  • Learn myofascial pathways that correlate with the spinal column and 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 spinal column. Understand vertebral fixations and facilitated segments.
  • 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.

    What People Are Saying

    I am glad I am finally getting around to being able to take the SMAC courses. Unfortunately, I did not have the time to do so while I was in school getting my degree, but this has been an exceptional continuing education course and I look forward to integrating what I've learned into my practice. I will definitely continue and take the sequential SMAC courses and would recommend these continuing education courses to all acupuncturists.

    Christopher H.- United States of America

    Hands down the best Orthopedic manual for the acupuncturist. There is no other professional text I refer to more often then this manual. Laymen to seasoned master, this book in indispensable.

    John H.- United States of America

    I highly recommend this course. Wish I had this in my tool box earlier in practice.

    marilyn v.- United States of America

    Bridging anatomy trains with motor points and TCM! A dream come true to any acupuncturist wanting a deeper dive into understanding the human body! The cadavers are very eye opening too. Grateful for the donors!

    Samantha S.- Canada

    The SMAC program is ahead of its time. They are leaders and innovators in the acupuncture community. Their contribution of knowledge is invaluable.

    Amanda H.- United States of America

    The mass amount of information and limited timeframe that we have to learn everything that is needed to pass board exams causes palpation, anatomy, and more advanced needling techniques to take a backseat. These courses fill the gap in knowledge and application, creating more impactful patient treatments.
