The 8th-10th intercostal spaces on both sides of the body are the Chapman’s reflex points that correspond to the small intestines. These spaces are located directly below their corresponding rib numbers.
Gentle but firm rotary movement in the 8th-10th intercostal spaces on both sides of the body is the palpatory technique thought to identify irritation or dysfunction of the small intestines.
The location of the Chapman reflex points that correspond to the sigmoid and descending colon and the splenic flexure is along the iliotibial band running from the greater trochanter to just above the knee on the left side.
Deep pressure with longitudinal rotary movement along the iliotibial band running from the greater trochanter to just above the knee on the left side is believed by Chapman to be able to identify irritation or dysfunction in the sigmoid and descending colon as well as the splenic flexure.

The location of the Chapman reflex points that correspond to the cecum, ascending colon and hepatic flexure is along the iliotibial band running from the greater trochanter to just above the knee on the right side.
