Chapman reflex points, or Champman's points, are discrete tissue texture changes localized to consistent anatomic landmarks. Each point corresponds to an organ or organ system, and the points are said to be palpable when dysfunction or pathology is present within that organ. The points were first described by Frank Chapman, an osteopathic physician, who described the palpatory findings as "small pearls of tapioca that are firm, partially fixed, and located under the skin in the deep fascia."
