ShaoLin Internal & leg protocal Flashcards
What Facilitates qi and blood circulation to & through the lower limb, Open/stimulate bladder, gall bladder, & kidney channels
Back of leg protocol
Which protocol Relaxes the muscles/attachments: gluteal muscles, hamstring muscles, & calf muscles, Decompress & realign joints of the hip, knee & ankle
Back of the leg protocol
List a few things that the Back of leg protocol is useful for:
Sciatica, Piriformis syndrome, Hip pain, Sacro-iliac joint subluxation; arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Pulled / torn / tight hamstrings, Calf cramping / pain / tightness, Achilles tendonitis, Various knee injuries, Ankle pain / sprain – chronic or acute, Low back pain
What Opens & stimulate the stomach, gallbladder, liver & spleen channels and Facilitate qi & blood circulation to & through the lower limb
Front of the leg protocol
Which Protocol Relaxes hip flexors, quadriceps muscles, tibialis anterior, calf muscles & Decompress & realign joints of hip, knee & ankle
Front of the leg protocol
List a few things that the Front of leg protocol is useful for:
Hip pain, Osteoarthritis hip/knee/ankle, ITB syndrome, ACL/Meniscus tears, MCL/LCL tears, Patellofemoral syndrome / chodromalacia / runner’s knee, Shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, Calf cramping / pain / tightness, Ankle pain / sprain – chronic or acute
Moves qi & blood through the gluteal muscles. Relaxes tension around the sacrum, hip, and PSIS - is a function of ___________ on ____________
Rolling on buttocks (1BLP)
(2BLP) When you press ________ for 10-30 secs it Unblocks stagnation, moves qi & blood in the GB/UB channels And affects the sciatic nerve & hip joint
GB30 (2BLP)
This action helps to Move qi & blood through the UB channel. Relaxes spasm & tightness
in the hamstrings & calves.
Pinch posterior compartment of thigh & calf 3x (3BLP)
This action Unblocks stagnation in the bladder channel. Relaxes spasm and tightness
in the hamstrings and calves.
Digital Press from UB36 at heel (bend leg at knee to press UB40) 1x (4BLP)
_______/ ______ Achilles tendon ____x to Strongly disperses stagnant qi in the UB channel, Achilles tendon, calves and heel.
Pinch/Pluck; 5-10 x (5BLP)
_________/_________/________ ankle for ____secs to Assess, regulate ROM of ankle joint. Facilitate qi flow in the lower limb
Rotate / bend / extend ankle (~30sec) (6BLP)
_________ ___ _______ for ____ x to disperse stagnation, move qi and blood through the whole lower limb. Loosens joints, encourage normal ROM of joints. Realigns joints.
foulage the leg; 3-5x (7BLP)
_____/_______ thigh _____x in order to Move qi & blood through the Stomach, Liver, Spleen, Kidney, & Gallbladder channels. Relax tightness in the thigh.
Pinch / Grasp thigh (anterior/medial/lateral compartments); 3x each (1FLP)
__________ ______ _______ for ______x to dredge qi though the gallbladder channel. Also relaxes the ITB, peroneus.
Dredge GB Channel (3-5x) (2FLP)
doing this action prior to moving forward allows you to Assess ROM of patella – up/down, medial/lateral
Gently move Patella [side to side, up and down, note restrictions] (3FLP)
This action Relaxes tightness in quatriceps tendon & patellar ligament. Normalizes movement of the patella. Warms the knee. Breaks stagnation. Disperses cold.
Palm edge rub-roll above and below patella (~10sec) (4FLP)
This more intense action Relaxes tightness in quatriceps tendon and patellar ligament. Normalizes movement of the patella. Disperses stagnation around the patella.
Hammer patella (~10sec, from 45 degrees, above and below– gently) (5FLP) Bend leg after & stabilize by sitting on foot.
With the leg bent you __________ the __________ ____x in order to Relax spasm in the calf. Course qi through UB channel.
Separate the Gastroc 3x (6FLP)
Sinew divide btwn _______/_______ ____x to Move qi through GB & St ch. Relax tightness in tibialis anterior & peroneus muscles. Spreads interosseous membrane btwn tibia & fibula
Sinew divide between Tibia / Fibula 3x (7FLP)
When you Thumb press / round rub release of calf attachments (@ Tib/Gastroc & Fib/Gastroc) 3x it course qi through _____, _____ & _____ ch….
Course qi through Spleen, Liver, and GB channels. Relax tightness in the calves. (8FLP)
_________ the _______ ___x to Relax spasms, bring qi & blood to the calf & Realign joints.
Squeeze the calf 3x (9FLP) - Straighten leg after.
This 10th step Relaxes tightness & moves qi & blood at the ankle, heel & btwn metatarsals. Encourages flexibility of the foot & ankle. IT should be done with the leg straightened.
Round rub around Malleoli, Heel, between metatarsals (10FLP)
Finally, _________ the ________ _______x in order to Disperse stagnation, move qi & blood through the whole lower limb. Loosen joints, encourage normal ROM of joints & realign joints.
Foulage the leg 3-5x (11FLP)
Push down as if against resistance; scapulae draw together. Develop ability to direct qi with mind. Coordinate upper & lower body. Strengthens back & shoulders.
King Arises from his throne (Step 1)
Elbows brush body, send qi to hands. Develop ability to direct qi with mind. Coordinate upper and lower body.
Pushing 8 horses forward (Step 2)
Shoulders stay relaxed, sunken, gripping action is from back & legs. Develop ability to direct qi. Helpful for grasping, kneading, pinching & wringing.
Pulling 9 oxen backward (Step 3)
Coordinate strength of upper & lower body. Strengthens pushing & pressing.
The Overlord holds up the tripod (step 4)
Rotation from shoulder girdle/back, chest relaxed. Root of movement from body rather than arms.
The Wind sways the lotus leaves (Step 5)
Connects the power of the arms with that of the waist, hips, back and legs. Develops pushing strength.
The Black Dragon Enters the Cave (Step 6)
