Dr. Chapman's Neurolymphatic Reflexes: Lymphatic Draginage as Related to the Endocrine System
Pre-requisite: Spine & Pelvis, or knowledge of how to balance the pelvis or permission of instructor.
Workshop location and dates are below the description.

Lymphatic congestion is frequently the cause of physical pain, often attributed to muscular tension, poor organ function, endocrine system imbalance and pelvic imbalance. After 30 years work, Dr. Frank Chapman determined that illness and lowered vitality was more directly related to poor diet and lymphatic congestion than to structural faults. He sought to find an answer.

Chapman’s Reflex points are nerve endings that relate to lymph. They take us deep within the body and can reveal when there is congestion around specific nerve roots and organs. In addition to assessment, the points can be used to release lymphatic congestion efficiently and effectively, providing a frequently overlooked piece of the pain puzzle for bodyworkers and their clients. The points can also be used for self-care. Many people are happy to find a natural solution to physical complaints they considered beyond the scope of bodywork. Practitioners can add a new service to their practice with this training.

Learn safe, gentle and effective ways to assess, unlock, balance and normalize lymph flow, improve endocrine function and health, and relieve pain and discomfort. To prepare students to work effectively with clients, Instructor Ann Hoeffel presents the material in groups with a hands-on focus, using Ortho-Bionomy:
