GB35 is located on the lateral side of the hind limb, about two thumb-widths above GB36, between the tibia and fibula.

Functions

Yangjiao may help relieve pain and stiffness in the musculoskeletal system and promote blood circulation.

Indicators

Safety

This point should be treated with care as it is close to important structures. Always consult a professional if unsure.

Medical information

GB35 is located craniolaterally on the lower leg, approximately 2 cun proximal to GB36, in a depression between the peroneus longus and lateral digital extensor muscles.

GB35 is used to treat lameness, local pain, stagnation in the Gallbladder meridian, and to support the function of the Yang Wei Mai.

Caution is advised when needling, as the point is close to the fibula and neurovascular structures. Use aseptic technique and ensure the horse is calm.
