Poney Chiang and Ki10

Just for our consideration

Poney Chiang:

The point location information taught today might assign spedicific names likes palmaris longus and flexor carpi radialis to unnamed sinews described in the classics. these interpretations are generally helpful, but at times the interpretation of which tendon was described can be wrong. For example KI 10 is not between semitendinosis and semiemembranosis, it is between sartorial and gracilis where the saphenous nerve has an fascial exit. Modern texts often leave out information about pulsations at a point described in the classics that suggest the presence of a neurvascular bundle. This is partially responsible for why teachers and students today do not know that acupuncture points are maps passed down to target neurovascular bundles

Hi Turiya
Have you taken any of his classes? So this would put his KD10 more anterior – but it is also a much tighter squeeze between the sartorius tendon and gracilis tendon. And yes there is definitely nerve pain that can be elicited there.
Have you been using this location?
