What is Ortho-Bionomy?
Ortho-Bionomy is an effective form of bodywork which uses gentle movements and comfortable positions to unlock tension and relieve pain. There are no rapid adjustments, painful contortions or deep muscle probings. Instead, Ortho-Bionomy uses the body’s preferred posture and mild exaggeration of any distortion to initiate postural balance and integration…
Who Discovered It?
Ortho-Bionomy was discovered by British Osteopathic Physician Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls. Since the early 1970′s Dr. Pauls has expanded and refined this remarkable system which has roots in modern and 19th century Osteopathy and medical antiquity. He coined the term Ortho-Bionomy to describe this study of the correct application of the laws of life and natural healing.
What Do We Do?
Painful spots in the body called trigger points are used as indicators of tense unbalanced areas that lack proper alignment and tone. The client and practitioner work together to find those areas thereby verifying the discomfort. Then through gentle positioning or movement techniques done with the practitioner, the client can experience the release of these painful spots. The release is accompanied by realignment and re-education of muscles and nerves. Thus clients learn how to self-correct their musculoskeletal problems and pain syndromes. Mental and emotional tensions locked in the body disappear at the same time, creating a feeling of lightness and ease. It is essential for the client to reinforce the session with home exercise and body awareness. Each treatment and homework prescription is tailored to the needs of the individual. Posture and gait training are often part of the client’s self-care program
