Net of Knowledge is an exciting, new continuing education platform built specifically for TCM and integrative health practitioners.
We are industry stakeholders who have come together from around the globe with a common mission: to inspire and support practitioners like you in your pursuit of knowledge and growth, so you can keep giving more to the patients and communities you support.
Come learn from some of the brightest minds of our field in our engaging digital environment.
To support your continuous self-development, we wanted to make it easier for you to keep learning from the teachers you love, even when you don’t need the CEUs. A lot of time goes into making the quiz and certificate applications for a course—if you don’t need it, why pay for it?
If you see a course or series you’re interested in, but aren’t sure if you need it towards your CEUs, just purchase the ‘Course Only’ or 'Series Only' option, and start learning right away! If you decide you need the CEUs at a later time, you can purchase the CEU add-on then.
Please note, CEU add-ons can only be applied if you have the course or series in your account, to begin with. If you buy a CEU add-on on its own, you will need to go back and buy the course or series respectively.
You have selected CEUs ONLY option. The CEU add-ons can only be applied to courses you already have in your Net of Knowledge account.
If you have purchased a CEUs ONLY option first by accident, you can come back here and purchase the COURSE ONLY option, and they will link back up automatically.
There are a number of essential points in orthopedic and sports acupuncture. Treating the gluteus medius at the extraordinary point Jiankua is certainly one of these points. Whether for lumbosacral pain or pelvic stability, this is a must-know point.
And because the gluteus medius does not have a known acupunture meridian point on the muscle, it is often missed by the acupuncturist.
The gluteus medius stabiles the pelvis. When the muscle is weak, the pelvis drops on the opposite side of this weakness, creating imbalance and biomechanical issues. Pain and dysfunction result. To complicate matters, the gluteus medius has a referal pattern of pain throughout the lumbosacral region. While the muscle is on the Shaoyang line, referral pain is usually found in the Bladder channel region of the low back, hip, and sacrum.
The gluteus medius is prone to inhibition – it will "turn off" with any stressful circumstances. Thus, pelvic instability may be frequent and it may aggravate the pain syndromes. Additionally, muscle strain, tendinitis, and trigger points are common within the muscle itself.
All this results in pain and a muscle that needs to be treated. The region of the extraordinary point Jiankua is a very effective place to start. Located halfway between the greater trochanter and the iliac crest, it is easy to locate and ahshi is a great guide to finding the precise point.
Long and short, you need to know Jiankua if you treat back and hip pain!
The recordings will be made available for you to review after the event!
