About David Legge

David Legge has practiced as an acupuncturist and osteopath for 30 years specialising in the treatment of painful musculoskeletal conditions. He is the author of the popular text ‘Close to the Bone’, the ‘Jing Jin: Acupuncture Treatment of the Muscular System using the Meridian Sinews’ and the handbook ‘Acupuncture Points and Meridians’ and Trigger Point Charts. He has taught widely in Australia, US & Europe.

David has spent his working life exploring how to get the best from both a Chinese medicine and an anatomical perspective when treating musculoskeletal disorder. An important recent step was the recognition that the Jing Jin theory could be used to describe the approach to treating muscular disorder that he had slowly developed over years of practice.Unfortunately, the poor traditional descriptions of the pathways was a hindrance to effective use of the system in the clinic. This led to a re-examination of the pathways in the light of contemporary knowledge of the structure & function of the muscular system.
