The thoracic duct may be considered as a ‘river of life’ in the human body. It’s importance cannot be underestimated and yet with a width of only 5mm, it is difficult, if not almost impossible, to evaluate.
In Applied Kinesiology, both the subclavian (right) and thoracic (left) ducts are mentioned during discussion of the ‘Retrograde Lymphatic’ procedure together with pectoralis minor stretch.

This lecture will propose a new challenge and associated muscle test to this most important of lymphatic structures.
