The Sinews & The Pelvis -Webinar
Pelvic health is an area of growing clinical interest for acupuncturists, yet it is often underrepresented in formal training. The Sinews & the Pelvis is a specialized continuing education course designed for licensed acupuncturists seeking to expand their clinical understanding of pelvic health through the framework of the Jing Jin (sinew channels).
This live webinar will take place on January 28th at 12:00 PM EST and offers an integrative, clinically relevant approach that bridges classical Chinese medicine theory, modern anatomical concepts, and evidence‑informed manual and needling techniques applicable to pelvic conditions.
Why Focus on the Sinews and the Pelvis?
The pelvis is a central hub for posture, movement, breath, and neurological regulation. Dysfunction in this region often presents as pelvic pain, hip and low back issues, movement restriction, or chronic tension patterns that are difficult to resolve without a deeper structural and functional framework.
The Jing Jin system, described in classical Chinese medicine texts, offers a powerful lens for understanding these patterns. By exploring the sinew channels in relation to the pelvis, practitioners can refine assessment strategies, identify meaningful treatment targets, and support more effective clinical outcomes.
What This Course Covers
Pelvic Breath, Neuromuscular Regulation, and Function
The course begins with an exploration of pelvic breath and its role in neuromuscular regulation, postural support, and pelvic function. Participants will examine how breath mechanics influence pelvic stability, movement efficiency, and tension patterns commonly seen in practice.
Pelvic Floor Anatomy and Physiology
Students will review the anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor, including its role in:
Core stability and postural control
Load transfer and movement
Common pelvic dysfunctions encountered in clinical practice
This foundational understanding supports clearer clinical reasoning and more precise treatment strategies.
The Jing Jin (Sinew Channel) System
The course then moves into an in‑depth study of the Jing Jin system, including:
Classical origins of the sinew channels
Modern anatomical and functional interpretations
The relevance of sinew pathways to pelvic pain, tension, and musculoskeletal dysfunction
Emphasis is placed on identifying sinew channel pathways, trigger points, and Ashi points, as well as understanding their clinical significance in pelvic assessment and treatment planning.
Sinew‑Based Treatment Techniques
The course concludes with practical instruction in sinew‑based acupuncture and manual techniques. Participants will learn strategies that may be integrated into an acupuncture practice to address:
Pelvic pain and tension
Movement restriction
Sinew‑related pelvic dysfunction
All techniques are taught within the appropriate scope of acupuncture practice and are designed for immediate clinical application.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Describe the anatomical structures and functional role of the pelvic floor
Explain the theoretical foundations of the Jing Jin system from both classical and modern perspectives
Identify sinew channel pathways, trigger points, and Ashi points associated with pelvic conditions
Demonstrate appropriate assessment strategies for sinew‑related pelvic dysfunction
Apply sinew‑based acupuncture and manual techniques to support pelvic health within scope of practice
