Series Overview

Matt Callison, author of the Sports Medicine Acupuncture textbook is a frequent international lecturer and presenter at symposiums and doctoral programs worldwide. He is a pioneer in North America in the research and development of motor point acupuncture and treatment protocols. He is one of the first to combine sports medicine clinical applications and truly integrate them with traditional Chinese medicine. He is well-known for his work with professional athletes and in developing treatment strategies for the orthopedic injuries affecting the aging athlete. Matt Callison joins his colleague Brian Lau to present the SMAC Webinar program. This advanced training consists of three Modules and is designed as an intensive curriculum and sequential learning format. This webinar series prepares the practitioner for the “assessment and treatment of injury classes” found in each Module, which are taught as a live in-person course.

In this Series, we are covering Module IV: The Neck, Shoulder, and Upper Extremity.

Course 1: Anatomy/Palpation and Cadaver Lab.
Course 2: Motor Entry Point Locations and Needle Techniques.
Course 3: Assessment and Treatment of the Channel Sinews.


The full SMAC Program is as follows:

MODULE I—The Spinal Column
MODULE II—The Low Back, Hip and Groin
MODULE III—The Lower Extremity
MODULE IV—The Neck, Shoulder and Upper Extremity

Anatomy & Cadaver Lab

This webinar is an amazing integration of sports medicine functional anatomy and TCM channel sinews (jingjin) channel theory, consisting of didactic presentations followed by practical Cadaver, Assessment and Motor Point Location and Needling labs.

Course Overview

This 2-day anatomy and cadaver webinar is an amazing integration of sports medicine functional anatomy and TCM channel sinews (jingjin) channel theory. Each day of this workshop is divided into distinct morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session consists of didactic presentations on Functional Anatomy and Anatomy of the Sinew Channels that are integrated to focus on the functional relationship between neuromuscular anatomy and the myofascial jingjin tissues and their relationship to the neck, shoulder and upper extremity. This information is followed by the afternoon session that consists of: 1) Assessment, 2) Motor Point Location and Protocols, 3) Cadaver Presentations.

Course Objectives

  • Learn neck, shoulder and upper extremity myofascial pathways that correlate with the classical sinew channels of TCM and the tissues belonging to each sinew channel with their functional anatomy relationship.
  • Learn in theory how to determine which my myofascial sinew channels need to be assessed and treated for musculoskeletal injury.
  • Learn normal and abnormal movement patterns of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity and its relationship to the shoulder girdle.
  • The practitioner will learn nerve pathways, dermatomal distributions and muscle myotomes in relationship to channel topography.
  • The practitioner will learn postural, functional and muscle imbalances that can lead to pain and dysfunction based on TCM theory.

Motor Point Needle Protocols for Neck, Shoulder, and Upper Extremity Muscles

Motor entry point locations and needle protocols for over 50 muscles of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity. In addition, many motor entry points are shown on cadaver dissection that enhance the understanding and appreciation of needle depth.
Total CPDs: 4
Standard Certificate (4), NCCAOM (4)
Access Period: Lifetime
Course Length: 4hrs
Course Notes: Notes are provided with this course.

Course Overview

Motor entry point locations and needle protocols for over 50 muscles of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity. In addition, the practitioner will see many motor entry points in human tissue that are shown from AcuSport Education's cadaver dissection. Observing the motor nerve entrance into the muscle can help the practitioner enhance their skills and appreciation of needle depth. Muscles not included in this recording are the pectoralis major, rhomboids minor and major and the middle and lower trapezius. These muscles are shown and practiced in the live-seminar SMAC courses under guidance.

Course Objectives

  • The practitioner will observe over 50 muscle motor points of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity.
  • The practitioner will earn current research on motor point locations
  • The practitioner will learn appropriate needle depth for the muscle motor points.

Assessment & Treatment of the Channel Sinews

This class highlights how channel sinews (jingjin) organize efficient movement patterns & balance the joint structures of the neck, shoulder & upper extremity. Focus is on understanding how imbalances in these channels can lead to pain & and injury.
Total CPDs: 8.5
NCCAOM (8.5), Standard Certificate (8.5)
Access Period: Lifetime

Course Overview

This 2-day class highlights how the channel sinews (jingjin) also known in modern day as myofascial sequences organize efficient movement patterns and balance the major joint structures of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity. Focus is on understanding how imbalances in these channels can contribute to pain and injury. Western assessment will be taught and practiced with TCM based acupuncture treatment and channel theory applied for the practitioner to discover measurable differences.

Course Objectives

  • Learn how neck, shoulder and upper extremity myofascial pathways correlate with functional anatomy.
  • Learn the tissues belonging to each sinew channel and their functional anatomy relationship.
  • Learn in theory how to determine which my myofascial sinew channels need to be assessed and treated for musculoskeletal injury.
  • Learn normal and abnormal movement patterns of the neck, shoulder and upper extremity and its relationship to the sinew channels.
