CHAPMAN’S LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE REFLEXES

The lymphatic system, by draining all body tissues of metabolic waste, dead cells, foreign microbes and other debris must be functioning at its optimum to insure fast recovery from inflammation, infection or trauma to those tissues. Within the lymphatic system also lies the immune system which can be stimulated to enhance resistance to infection.

The Chapman’s Reflexes are specific points located on the front and back of the body that when stimulated induce lymphatic drainage of various lymphatic vessel beds. By stimulating these points, each specific for a different organ or part of the body, you can greatly enhance the self-generated recuperative powers of the immune system and speed recovery from various common maladies as colds, flu, headache, menstrual pain, sore throat, etc.  

This course is offered by Ortho-Bionomy instructors as an adjunct to massage therapy practice. A textbook is included as part of the course with detailed illustrations showing the exact locations of all points.

Originally designed for the Osteopathic profession by Frank and J.B.Chapman, Osteopaths who practiced in the early  1900’s, these reflexes were virtually ignored by most of that profession and taken up again in the 1970’s by Chiropractors and massage therapists learning Touch for Health, where about 14 of the 125 reflexes are shown as Neurolymphatics.

Arthur Lincoln Pauls, D.O., founder of Ortho-Bionomy® has reintroduced Chapman’s Reflexes in their complete form as part of the family of related disciplines to be taught to all Ortho-Bionomists to expand the therapeutic possibilities of gentle touch.
