RE: Osteopathic study of Bo & Yu points
I figure this may help make sense of this Thread -
CONCLUSION
Osteopathic manipulation of vertebrae is used therapeutically to impact viscera through the calming of hyperactive sympathetic output to specific organs. A parallel approach in acupuncture uses the Front Mu and Back Shu subsystems. Anatomic analysis of these point locations reveals them to be in the range of sympathetic innervation to their associated organs. It is proposed that acupuncture treatment using Front Mu and Back Shu points has a similar mechanism to osteopathic manipulation in improving afferent and efferent function so that sympathetic hyperactivity is alleviated.
