An Endocrine Interpretation of Chapman's Reflexes

Author/Editor: Charles Owens

1920 Frank Chapman, DO, discovered a Reflex link between Endocrine Glands, the Viscera & Lymphatics.  “An Endocrine Interpretation of Chapman’s Reflexes”, was written by Charles Owens, DO (Chapman’s brother-in law) in 1937. In this book, he proposes that the stimulation of the Chapman’s Reflexes contributes to lymphatic drainage, balances the Autonomic Nervous System, and is beneficial to the Reflex’s target Organs and Glands. He suggests certain protocols for working with these Reflexes and describes the key role the Endocrine system plays when considering a more systemic approach to their use.

The relative constancy of the anatomic topography of Chapman's reflexes makes it possible to establish the location of pathology without knowing its nature. In considering the reflex effect on lymphatics, Dr. Chapman apparently assumed the existence of a neuro-lymphatic reflex (in the sense that we speak of neuro-vascular, neuro-muscular, neuro-humeral, etc.) as a part of the body's homeostatic mechanisms.

ALP Arthur Bionomy

Author/Editor: Arthur Lincoln Pauls

Arthur Bionomy is a name coined by Arthur for his personal style of Ortho-Bionomy.  This includes being at "play" as he more often liked to call it.  

Get a behind the scenes glimpse of the man who dedicated his life to helping people understand his world.

In a Residential setting Arthur often said, the "real" class many times took place out of the classroom.  When students are relaxed and not "trying" to learn, understanding happens all by itself.

Phase 8 Series: Exploration of Movement DVD

Author/Editor: Terri Lee

By Advanced Instructor Terri Lee

This presentation focuses on the observation and exploration of joint and muscle movement patterns. Applying the principles of Ortho-Bionomy® will allow you to facilitate the release of acute and chronic holding patterns that create pain and tension. Learn how to follow the body's movement preferences to enhance the fluid motion between joints and muscles of the body thereby stimulating the body's self-corrective reflexes to enhance comfort. Some of the sections included are the Neck, Shoulders, Scapulas, Hips, Knees, and Pelvis.

Phase 8 Series: Phase 4 Extremities DVD

Phase 8 Series: Posture and Post Techniques

Author/Editor: Terri Lee

By Advanced Instructor Terri Lee

This presentation focuses on the spine, it’s natural curves, movement, and the dysfunctional patterns which create our postures.  This presentation incorporates Ortho-Bionomy® principles, applying specific techniques that bring intrinsic movement to the spine and rib cage. These principles teach assessment skills. Additionally, they provide tools to integrate the work done during a session. Techniques that work with spinal curvatures like scoliosis and lordosis are presented.  You will learn to evaluate and address these inefficient postural patterns with simple exercises that facilitate a person’s ability to gain and maintain new postural habits.

Everyone can use these simple, easy to learn principles and techniques to help their friends, family and loved ones. We empower ourselves by becoming more aware of the tension patterns held in our bodies. This deeper understanding allows us to feel more comfortable and with greater ease of movement in our bodies as well as our lives.

All of the persons used to demonstrate in this film were evaluated for the first time, in front of the cameras at the time of filming. This was their first experience with Terri Lee and Ortho-Binomy.

Resourcing for Clients and Practitioners with Cathy Krenicky

This is a recording of a SOBI sponsored study group. 

In this study group we will explore the definition of resourcing along with why and when we would use this tool.

1. What am I seeing, hearing or touching right now that feels pleasurable or calming?
2. Where in my body am I feeling that?
3. What are the qualities?
4. Am I warm or chilly?

It is easy to become fixated on unpleasant sensations, relive past experiences, or float away into a familiar pattern. 

We will discuss strategies to make intervention comfortable and effective using verbal, energetic, and hands on techniques.

After checking out you will receive a link to the video of the recording. Please note, no CE credit will be given for this recording.
