Ortho-Bionomy

Ortho-Bionomy is a comprehensive healing therapy that meets both your physical and energetic needs. It creates a space for your body to initiate change from within based on the bodies inherent balancing reflexes of the neuromuscular, neuroenergetic, and neurolymphatic systems.

This therapy provides a pathway for your body to witness it’s current pattern or position which stimulates the inherent reflexes to release pain and tightness that result from injury, and patterns of physical and emotional stresses on your body. The body is not forced to change, but gently encouraged to self correct.

It is an effective therapy for those seeking relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, restricted movement, and chronic or acute pain. It is also very beneficial for increasing mind-body awareness, relaxation, energy balancing, and spiritual awareness.

Within our muscles, tendons, and joints are “sensors” that monitor the amount of stretch, tension, and movement in the soft tissue of the body. When an injury or stress occurs, it affects the muscle, others in its muscle group, and the connective tissue matrix that our entire body is made up of. This can create a short circuit in the body’s inherent balancing reflexes affecting your overall health and well being.

Ortho-Bionomy, by working with the inherent balancing reflexes, engages and restores communication by recognizing you as the holistic, integrated being that you are. This is done by identifying the pain free or preferred movement of direction around a sore area in the soft tissue. Once the preferred movement and direction are found that relieves the sore area, a gentle compression is applied to activate the “sensors” so your body can self correct.

With communication restored, your body can release the stretched or contracted state that was creating the imbalance and pain. Your body can begin to move with more ease and comfort affecting all levels of your being.

Physical & Energetic Healing

This work is a combination of the physical healing and hands-on energy work. The movements become much more subtle as your body is led through passive movements during the work. You are met gently where you are and guided through each release. This approach allows you to experience your body physically while gaining an awareness of the subtle healing energy moving through you as your physical and energetic patterns self correct.

Energetic Healing

This work is a pure energetic therapy that is working off the body with your energy patterns. Just as the physical body develops holding patterns of stress, so too can your biomagnetic energy layers. Much like the physical work, the preferred movement of your energy is identified, only this time the focus is on the direction and movement of your energy to restore balance. This approach of Ortho-Bionomy through energy work may help you with conditions that have not responded to conventional treatment.

A Gentle, Effective Therapy

Since the changes that take place come from within, the results of Ortho-Bionomy tend to be long-lasting and affect your body as well as your overall well being. Your energetic and emotional aspects are included to facilitate balance and release of mental

and emotional holding patterns that are closely associated with physical imbalance or trauma. Just as in other massage and bodywork therapies, it can be a great tool to add to your wellness plan to help you bring balance and harmony into your life.

Ortho-Bionomy sessions are done fully clothed so loose comfortable clothing is best for your session. Comfort is a key goal during your session and no forceful movements are ever used. This gentle, effective therapy is great for all ages and empowers you with the knowledge and experience of your own healing wisdom.
