Anatomy Slings and their Sinew Channel Correspondences

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), qi represents the dynamic processes of cellular respiration, ATP production, and overall muscle function and vitality, along with vagal tone and patency. By integrating insights from myofascial theory and neuroscience , we can enhance TCM treatments for conditions of chronic fight-flight that exhibit spasticity. This approach is particularly effective when using the Sinew Channels (jing jin) at crossing points where multiple layers of fascia intersect, allowing for simultaneous influence on multiple fascial layers.

Anatomy slings refer to specific groups of muscles and connective tissues that work together to produce and control movement, particularly dynamic and cross-body actions. These slings are especially relevant in sports medicine and physical therapy as they highlight how different parts of the body cooperate to maintain stability and facilitate movement.
