The posterior Chapman point for the eye is located posterior to which landmark?

Chapman points are small, tender fascial areas that reflect the function of specific visceral tissues. The posterior point for the eye is located behind the ear, near the mastoid process. This landmark differentiates it from points associated with thoracic intercostal spaces, the lateral aspect of the humerus, or a cervical vertebral pillar like the C2 region. Treating this posterior point with osteopathic techniques can help address ocular-related somatic dysfunction by targeting the reflex pathway that links the eye to structures near the mastoid.
