An entry-level module, Foundation: Contact and Positioning includes history, philosophy, principles and concepts of Ortho-Bionomy® along with a comprehensive approach to physical and energetic techniques for the spine and the extremities.
In Ortho-Bionomy contact means being in a specific relationship with the client that allows the self-correcting reflexes to be accessed and engaged. Learning to recognize which positions facilitate this process is an important part of learning Ortho-Bionomy. At the Phase 5 and 6 level we learn to recognize comfortable movement or energetic contact as dimensions of comfortable.
Classes included in this module: essentials of Ortho-Bionomy, Phase 4 Spine and Shoulders, Phase 4 Extremities, Study Group, Phase 5 and 6. Students may choose to register for specific courses for partial cost, or register for the entire module. This module can be taken on its own or as a requirement for completing the Ortho-Bionomy certification program.
