Which BL point is behind the ankle joint, in the depression between the prominence of the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon?

• A. BL 61
• B. BL 60
• C. BL 62
• D. BL 58

Answer: (B)

The location behind the ankle joint in the hollow between the prominent outer ankle bone (lateral malleolus) and the Achilles tendon is the hallmark for this Bladder channel point. BL-60 sits right in that depression, so you can feel for the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon and then find the soft hollow between them. That precise spot is what makes BL-60 the correct choice. The other points around the ankle aren’t located in this same depression, so they don’t match this landmark.
