Motor Point Needle Protocols for Vertebral & Sacral Fixations
Motor entry point locations and needle protocols will be shown for the muscles associated with vertebral and sacral fixations. The Psoas, Gluteus Maximus, Popliteus, Middle Deltoid, Lower Trapezius, Splenius Capitis, Semispinalis Capitis and Splenius Cervicis will be presented. In addition, supportive muscles for vertebral and sacral fixations will be presented such as the transversospinalis group located at the Huatuojiaji point, the suboccipital muscles, the longissimus thoracis (inner UB channel), iliocostalis thoracis (outer UB channel) and the levator scapula. The practitioner will see many motor entry points in human muscle tissue from AcuSport Education’s cadaver dissections. Observing the motor nerve entrance into the muscle can help the practitioner enhance their skills and appreciation of needle depth.
Motor Point Needle Protocols for Low Back, Hip & Groin Muscles
Motor entry point locations and needle protocols are shown for many low back, hip and groin muscles. Matt Callison discusses the latest research on motor entry point locations and needle depths. The practitioner will see many motor entry points in human muscle tissue from AcuSport Education’s cadaver dissections including a bifurcated piriformis and scitaic nerve. Observing the location of the motor nerve entrance into the muscle can help the practitioner enhance their skills and appreciation of needle depth.
Motor Point Needle Protocols for Lower Extremity Muscles
This video presentation discusses the latest research on muscle motor entry point (MEP) locations, how to find the MEP location and effective needle protocols for these points. This presentation discusses over 33 muscle entry points of the lower extremity and foot. This presentation has many cadaver specimen videos showing the motor entry point into the muscle.
Motor Point Needle Protocols for Neck, Shoulder and Upper Extremity Muscles
Motor entry point locations and needle protocols for over 50 muscles of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity. In addition, the practitioner will see many motor entry points in human tissue that are shown from AcuSport Education’s cadaver dissection. Observing the motor nerve entrance into the muscle can help the practitioner enhance their skills and appreciation of needle depth. Muscles not included in this recording are the pectoralis major, rhomboids minor and major and the middle and lower trapezius. These muscles are shown and practiced in the live-seminar SMAC courses under guidance.
Matt Callison is a pioneer in motor point acupuncture and has spent over 30 years researching, refining and treating muscle motor entry points through the lens of western biomedicine and traditional Chinese medicine. Using surface electrical stimulation, research articles and documenting the locations of muscle motor entry points through his own cadaver dissections has been a career long endeavor. Matt Callison is a master in needling and is well known for designing very effective and innovative treatment protocols that includes MEP’s with traditional acupuncture points.
Understanding where the motor nerve enters the muscle is very useful for the TCM practitioner to understand and can provide insight into needle depth and obtaining “de qi” sensation.
