An Ortho-Bionomy session is relaxing and noninvasive. During a typical 45-to 50-minute session, the client rests on a massage table, clothed but with shoes off. The practitioner uses techniques including gentle, conscious contact with the hands, locating and addressing points of tension and sensitivity; gently positioning the body for release with compression into the joints; and applying isometrics and other relaxing movements.
“Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, effective approach to somatic re-education that uses comfortable positioning and relaxing movements to unlock tension, relieve pain, promote structural balance, reduce stress and increase personal awareness and well-being. Homeopathic in principle, Ortho-Bionomy incorporates a wide spectrum of techniques ranging from hands-on contact to non-physical contact with the energy field to initiate innate, self-corrective reflexes that remind the body of its own natural ability to find balance,” wrote Luann Overmyer, an advanced Ortho-Bionomy instructor, in a paper presented to the Fifth National Conference on Integrative Medicine and Wellness in Allied Health, in San Francisco, California, in 1997.
Within the still points of an Ortho-Bionomy session, something powerful begins to occur. “The alchemy of Ortho-Bionomy exists within the power of relationship between practitioner and client,” explains Parrish. “The practitioner uses various supportive techniques, and remains present to engage the client’s natural responsiveness and healing awareness. Within this realm of dynamic interconnection is the alchemical moment where change happens.”
