A neurological and structural based bodywork that enables the body to self-correct without pain or force. Derived from Osteopathy, this elegant, principle based work capitalizes on the body’s ability to understand itself as a whole. It engages the nervous system’s profound intelligence through the body’s self corrective reflexes, promoting self-recognition, pain relief, structural balance, and deep healing.
"Change can only come about when the corrective instincts of the body are summoned up in such a way that the body does not resist this change. Anything beyond this is force, which applied too much, leads only to rebellion of the self instead of a reunification of the harmonic whole."

Ortho-Bionomy is the most whole modality of any that I have studied. At its center is respect for the individual at all levels of being. My Practice of Ortho-Bionomy has confirmed for me the wondrous effects of approaching the individual as a living whole: body, mind, emotions, energy, soul and spirit.
