Should We Treat the Psoas Motor Point or Only Use Distal Points?
from The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast · host Dr. Richard Hazel, Doctor of Acupuncture, Licensed Acupuncturist
I recently saw a discussion about treating the psoas with acupuncture techniques like fascial pecking on the abdomen, treating the segment, addressing other issues like the abdominals and core, distal points. What should we do and why? All of the above are good, but there are times when the motor point is essential. Here's my take. Hint: it's a matter of muscle tone vs muscle shortening.
