An acupuncture method for the sinew meridians.Test · needle · re-test, on the same visit.
No pulse reading needed. The movement is the test, and the re-test is the proof.
What it helps with
The Chain works on the musculoskeletal system. Two points on the right sinew meridian get qi moving along it quickly, which is why the change often shows within minutes, on the same visit. Not in every patient, and the re-test tells you which case you have.
Filmed on real patients in the course: shoulder · elbow · neck · lower back · sciatica.
I practise and teach only what I can check on the same visit.
Every method I use in my clinic is checked before the patient leaves: the patient reports a change in function, or I read it on the pulse. In The Chain the pulse is not part of the method. The movement is the test.
I don't wait a week to find out. Before the patient leaves I know whether I did the job well, and if I didn't, I correct it on the spot. I like working that way, and patients notice it.
The diagnosis is classical: the sinew meridians are in the Ling Shu. The two points and the re-test are mine, built in my own clinic, patient by patient, 20 to 30 patients a day.
Dr Michal Richter, MD · physician and acupuncturist
Two first visits, two re-tests.
Nothing here is staged: the patient names the pain before, I needle two points, and the patient names it again after. Listen for the second number.
And when the re-test does not move?
Then the method has just told you something useful, five minutes into the visit instead of two weeks later.
I go back to step one and check the test: was it really this phase of movement, for this body part? Then step two: were the two points on the sinew meridian that runs it, and was the stimulation right? I run the three steps again. Most of the time the second re-test moves.
When it still does not, I know it is not a sinew meridian case, and I switch to my other tools with five minutes lost, not a visit. That is the built-in check: it works for you, and it tells you when to stop.
In my clinic the re-test moves in most MSK visits, not in every patient, and not always by the same margin. The re-test is there so that you know which case you have in front of you before she leaves the room.
What changes on Monday
- You know the same visit. The re-test tells you whether it worked: you don't wait two weeks to find out.
- Two points, short stimulation. No thirty-minute retention: your schedule opens up.
- Patients watch their own change, and rebook for what they saw, not for what you promised.
- You can say why it worked, in one sentence, to the patient or to her physician.
What's inside
~70 minutes · 16 video lessons · English subtitles · structured so you can treat the next day.
Also inside from the first minute, nothing to claim separately: region-by-region diagnosis walkthroughs (lower limb, upper limb, head, trunk), the printable Treatment-Room Workbook for the table, and Yin & Yang in practice, the working logic behind every chain decision.
70 minutes is deliberate. You are paying for a protocol it took 25 years to distil, watch it in one evening, run it on Monday morning.
Reach for The Chain when:
- The patient can show you the movement that hurts, a reach, a turn, a bend, a step, a grip. That movement is the test.
- A joint or a region has lost range, and the loss sits in one of the six movement phases.
- Something recent, a strain, an overload, "I slept badly and now I can't turn my head". Often the whole visit.
- A stubborn MSK complaint that has had "everything" and still fails the same movement, the chain nobody has needled yet.
- Any first visit for pain, the fastest way to a baseline number and a measurable change before you do anything else.
One failed movement, one sinew meridian: the test does the diagnosis for you.
Use it as the whole treatment, as the first ten minutes before your own method, or as the re-test that tells you whether what you did worked. None of the three asks you to change how you practise.
What practitioners say after using it
Course participants in Poland · translated · first names at their request
"I do this with 90% of patients on the first visit, it is the first thing I reach for."
Marcin, practitioner"Yesterday I saw a patient, only 13 minutes instead of the planned hour, thanks to the sinew-meridian points."
Urszula, practitioner"A clear, effective tool for working with pain, and, importantly, it doesn't rule out combining it with other manual approaches."
Rafał, practitioner"Years after stepping back from daily acupuncture practice, this is still the piece of knowledge I use most often and most regularly."

Common questions
Can a needling method really be learned online?
The lessons show the exact test, the exact two points, the angle and the stimulation, close to the camera, on real patients. Then the re-test on your own patient tells you within days whether you have learned it. That is a kind of feedback most live seminars never give you.
Is the price I see the price I pay?
Yes. The amount on this page is the amount on your card, all taxes, including EU VAT, are already included. One payment, lifetime access.
Will it replace what I already do?
No. Practitioners run it as the whole treatment, as the first ten minutes before their own method, or as the re-test after it. It sits beside your practice, it doesn't compete with it.
English isn't my first language. Will I follow?
Every lesson has English subtitles, and the method is shown, not just spoken. You can pause and re-watch any step. Most practitioners who took the course are not native speakers.
What happens if I ask for the refund?
You write one email within 14 days, to me. You get 100% back. No forms, no questions, no "are you sure?" offers. The method is verified by your re-test on a real patient, not by how hard it is to leave.
