Abstract
Given that the biomechanical theory cannot well explain the therapeutic effect of fan-ashi point (a special site that may relieve pain by pressing), the skeletal muscle tension is adopted and it is attempted to interpret the mechanism of the curative effect and the effect onset of fan-ashi point. It is viewed that the longitudinal tension conduction and transverse tension conduction pathways of skeletal muscle are the material basis of the effect onset of fan-ashi point. Hence, acupuncture at fan-ashi point may alter the longitudinal or transverse tension conduction of skeletal muscle to relieve muscle and tendon pain.
