The Kidney Meridian starts from the inferior side of the small toe. Crossing the middle of the sole and the arch of the foot, it circles behind the inner ankle and travels along the innermost side of the lower leg and thigh, until it enters the body near the base of the backbone.
After connecting with the kidney, it comes out at the pubic bone. Over the abdomen, it runs externally upwards until it reaches the upper part of the chest (the inner side of clavicle). A second branch emerges from the kidney and moves internally upwards and passes through the liver, diaphragm, lungs and throat, finally terminating at the root of the tongue. Another small branch divides from the lung to connect with the heart and the pericardium.
The Kidney Channel is a yin channel that consists of 27 points. It starts on the sole of the foot and runs medially towards the arch of the foot, where it travels medially and proximally along the lower leg. It circles behind the medial malleolus and then travels along the medial aspect of the lower leg and along the thigh.
From the groin it then moves over the abdomen and upwards until it reaches the upper part of the chest. The Kidney Meridian is another relatively long channel but has a limited application in a musculoskeletal setting. The main points employed in the management of musculoskeletal pain are KI 3 and KI 6 at the ankle and KI 10 at the knee.
