What is Ortho-Bionomy?
Ortho-Bionomy is rooted philosophically and scientifically in Osteopathy, a 100-year-old health care system that recognizes
the body’s self-healing and self-regulating capacity. The process began in 1964 when American Osteopath Lawrence Jones
developed "positional release," a technique using exaggerated body positioning to release pain and tension. Inspired by this work, British Osteopath Arthur Lincoln Pauls began exploring the principles of non-force corrective techniques. By 1976 he had developed the Phased Reflex techniques of Ortho-Bionomy, an integration of positional release and energetic methods that enable clients to consciously experience and participate in their body’s ability to self-correct. Ortho-Bionomy is now taught and practiced world-wide. Ortho-Bionomy creates an atmosphere for clients to connect with their inner wisdom by awakening self-corrective reflexes that open the door to healing, awareness and structural balance. During a typical Ortho-Bionomy session, the practitioner tracks the flow of the client’s experience and responds with a variety of techniques. These techniques include: gentle, conscious contact with the hands, locating and addressing points of tension and sensitivity, comfortable body-positioning for release, with compression into the joints, isometrics, and integrative re-education exercises. The alchemy of Ortho-Bionomy exists within the power of relationship between practitioner and client. The practitioner embodies the principles of Ortho-Bionomy using various supportive techniques, and by remaining present in a way that engages the client’s natural responsiveness and healing awareness.
