Chapman's Neurolymphatic Reflexes, Lymphatic Draginage as Related to the Endocrine System
Pre-requisite: Spine & Pelvis.
Workshop location: Scroll down for specific workshop locations and details.

Lymphatic congestion is often at the root of all kinds of pain, poor organ function, endocrine system imbalance and pelvic imbalance and instability.  After 30 years experience, Dr. Frank Chapman postulated long ago that illness had more to do with poor diet and lymphatic congestion than structural imbalances. He sought to find an answer. Chapman’s Reflex points are nerve endings that relate to lymph around specific nerve roots and organs.  The Reflex points serve as a roadmap for finding and relieving lymphatic congestion as related to the endocrine system and other specific areas.  The reflexes take us deep within the body and unlock congestion in a way that is efficient and effective, providing a frequently overlooked piece of the pain puzzle for bodyworkers and their clients. For many people, the reflexes have been a key component to lasting relief from pain. They enjoy improved function and well-being, having found resolution of physical complaints they considered outside the scope of bodywork practice.

Learn safe, gentle and effective ways to unlock, balance and normalize lymph flow, improve endocrine function and health, and relieve pain and discomfort. The knowledge and skills gained in these workshops allows you to add a new service to your repetoire and provide great benefit to your clients.

For in-depth learning and to make it easier for students to integrate Chapman's Neurolymphatic Reflex work into their current practice, Instructor Ann Hoeffel presents the material in segments. Each segment ha been created to optimize student comprehension and hands-on training, so that on completion, students will feel prepared to work effectively with clients.
