Online SOBI Sponsored Study Groups

The Society of Ortho-Bionomy International sponsors monthly Online Study Groups. They are primarily in a conference call format and are taught by various Registered Ortho-Bionomy Instructors via Zoom.

Our Study Groups cover a variety of topics and also count towards the study group requirements in the Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Training Programs.

The receipt received upon registration will have a link to download the handout, any preview materials and the Zoom link. Be sure you have these materials available before you login to the study group. 

There is a limit to class size, so be sure to register early.

After a group finishes, all attendees will be emailed an evaluation form for that session. To receive study group credit attendees will need to keep their cameras on during the study group and complete and submit the evaluation form within two weeks.

Recordings of select past study groups are also available in the SOBI Bookstore.

The study groups are a full three hours, with no credit given for homework time.

Out of respect for the Instructor and the other students please be on time for the study group.

Chapman's Self-Care

with SOBI Registered Advanced Instructor Sara Sunstein

Three hours

We'll be using Chapman’s Reflexes, identified by osteopath Frank Chapman in the 1920s, to stimulate nerve and lymph flow to individual organs and glands. Working with the reflex points, we improve the body's self-regulating abilities, overall functioning, and lymph flow.  Grouping specific points together, we can address different systems of the body.   

Being lymphatic reflexes, the points are just under the skin and do not require deep pressure to be awakened.  The hands-on contact is gentle, and requires attention, not force, to be effective.

 In this 3-hour seminar, you will learn and practice on yourself.

• Location, identification and palpation of Chapman’s Reflex points; Ways to navigate the Chapman’s book.
• Gentle methods to stimulate and release the points and corresponding organs and glands.     
• Groups of reflexes to address: Immune system; Lungs, bronchials and throat; Digestive and more (time allowing).
• Common applications of reflex points during a hands-on session, for when we’re touching clients.    

Required text: An Endocrine Interpretation of Chapman’s Reflexes, by Charles Owens, DO. or Chapman’s Reflex Charts, by Denise Deig, both available through the SOBI Bookstore.
