Comments on: The Kidneys Influence on Ligaments https://sportsmedicineacupuncture.com/kidneys-influence-on-ligaments/ Enhancing Sports Medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine Fri, 02 Aug 2019 04:37:11 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Michael Max https://sportsmedicineacupuncture.com/kidneys-influence-on-ligaments/#comment-58 Mon, 21 May 2018 08:57:51 +0000 https://www.sportsmedicineacupuncture.com/?p=5309#comment-58 The differential between ligament and tendon is interesting here. Further noting how one is about stability and the other about movement, that the kidney is about stability and the liver about movement rings true for me. It makes sense…now that it’s been pointed out to me.

I’ll be watching for how this shows up in clinic, so I can let this insight guide my clinical work.

History has shown us that sometimes certain authors or schools of thought didn’t agree with earlier authors or ideas. Chinese physicians learnt for example that taking lead, mercury and so forth actually didn’t add to longivity but actually shortened it.The location of some points has been under debate for centuries. I couldn’t agree with Matt Callison’s view more on the idea that kidneys control ligaments. I understand that Matt has been working on this book for nearly 20 years. I expect that in a 100 yars time, other authors will be referring to it.
