This is a must have book for the treatment of musculo-skeletal issues with TCM-based acupuncture. Callison provides a clear and straightforward introduction to his methodology and the philosophical underpinnings. The book goes on to look at the anatomical regions of the body and clearly identifies the motor point, neurological root, function and corresponding huatoujiaji for each muscle in that region.
