Hawaii How is Ortho-Bionomy different from massage?First of all, Ortho-Bionomy works. It works quickly, simply, without pain and without a lost of sessions. It focuses on the bones-where they fit together and the stress and tension at the joints. It looks at flexation, movement and stuck patterns or places.
It doesn’t try to change you — or change anything. It helps you recognize yourself and your holding patterns. It offers information on how to help yourself through self corrective techniques and exercise, posture and observing how you hold your body. It gives you body awareness. It shows you how to change your bad habits into healthier ones — more healthful ways to sit, walk and run. It helps you perfect your sport whether it is golf, horseback riding, surfing or tennis. It teaches you to connect with your energy and where you want to direct it. It’s SAFE – your body is always moved within your boundaries — with you as the guide. The Ortho-Bionomy session is a place to get your way.
You know more about your body than anyone else, so why not choose your positions of comfort? It is simple yet not simplistic. It is deep, interconnected work, yet very subtle. It reconnects you with parts of yourself that you may have forgotten existed. It gives you a bigger picture so that you have more choices.
How does it work? You lie on the table fully-clothed while a practitioner assess your alignment through they way you place yourself on the table. This preferred position reveals a lot about the body — for example, a tight neck will often pull the head into the tense side.
