Jānu-adjacent knee focus

Lower-limb joint proxy

The knee focus represents a lower-limb joint region that can be read in a whole-body oiling circuit without claiming a special canonical oil point. It is a target-organ projection of a therapy-region classification, not a joint diagnosis or a direction to work over a vulnerable marma.
