Chapman’s Neurolymphatic Reflexes "To one who would practice manipulatively it is essential that one understand (1) the anatomical, physiological, and pathological relations of the human body; (2) that he properly correlate these with the signs and symptoms he elicits; (3) that he apply specific treatment in accordance with his findings and therapeutic aims; and (4) that he develop palpatory and manipulative skills that will enable him to achieve his objectives in treatment. " Balancing the Pelvis "I want you to pay particular attention to Dr. Mitchell as he presents the crux of the Chapman reflex treatment--the balancing of the bony pelvis. Upon this delicate balance depends a large share of the effectiveness of a reflex treatment. If the pelvis is not balanced properly, a large part of the reflex treatment is nullified. If the pelvis becomes unbalanced, as it frequently will, signs and symptoms will return. It is not always possible to balance the pelvis and have it remain in balance from the first treatment on. Oftimes the pathology is so severe that it tends to unbalance the pelvis. Sometimes it may take several weeks before the pelvis remains in balance. This is a particularly trying period, as symptoms tend to recur. The balance of the pelvis is one of the criteria of the progress of the patient and his treatment." from "Clinical Aspects Of The Chapman Reflexes" by Edward A. Brown, A.B., D.O. |
