This community is about learning the basics, but a really important part of this community is also about taking your understanding of msk and orthopedic treatments to the next level.
One common thing we do when we first learn motor points is needle every inhibited muscle. While this is fine, the next level of assessment and treatment means not having to do this.
What other ways can you treat an inhibited muscle without actually needling or working on the muscle at all?

A little video I made showing why the ESTIM-II is better than the ESTIM-III.
Hi Doc @Exstoreman, patient presented with neck pain and twitching around scapula and tricep muscles ever since weighted seated rows at gym. The twitching is random. I’ve done exstore and cleaned up tropic changes, he had a lot between c1 to c 5 (splenus capitus). His neck is better but the twitching remains. I’ve checked for trigger points and tropic changes in the area of twitches but nothing obvious stands out. Today I went with perfusion and released neck muscles. Love your thoughts on this.
Sharing my little win treating my own right hand texting thumb yesterday with motor points for opponens pollicis, abductor pollicis, flexor pollicis. 3 needles, 5 minutes treatment with the pointer plus, slightly/very awkwardly with my non-dominant left hand :) and 85% improved today. I have just some residual ache at the 1st MCP, ulnar side. @Exstoreman what do you think of a high frequency intraarticular treatment, or what would be a good next step to get to 100%?
@BrittLeeworthy I gotta say. You been doing some awesome work with your website with your membership section. I'm loving the structure of your plans. I haven't really seen this anywhere else.
How long did it take you to come up with this structure? I been trying to come up with a concise membership plan and what you have is awesome. Just wanted to say.
