Natural healing movement

The term “Ortho-Bionomy” is formed from root words meaning “correct laws of life.” Through a mixture of tools from osteopathy and the martial arts, it addresses comfort, alignment and awareness in the body. Ortho-Bionomy is a system of natural healing movement. It works with the communication between muscles, joints and the proprioceptive nervous system, the nerves that provide information about body position and movement. Ortho-Bionomy stimulates the self-correcting reflexes of the body.

An education in reclaiming the natural

The human body is extremely adaptive. In many cases this is beneficial, but not always. Our bodies compensate when we face illness, injury, stress or misuse. They can grow accustomed to harmful activities to the point where we train ourselves not to notice the important messages they are sending us. Over time, our bodies slip away from their perfect natural alignment. Comfortable options are no longer available. The result can be ongoing discomfort and pain.

Ortho-Bionomy relieves chronic and acute pain and stress. It also quickens recovery after injury or exertion. Ortho-Bionomy reeducates the body, allowing it to regain its balance without force. It reintroduces natural states of movement, alignment and posture, function and breathing. Through Ortho-Bionomy’s safe and gentle movement techniques, you can strip away problems that build up over time. Most importantly, you will gain the tools needed to regain and retain your natural physical balance. Repairing the body is important, but understanding how to stay in good repair is even more fundamental.

Ortho-Bionomy empowers you to take charge of your own health and well-being. I educate you with a strong foundation in Ortho-Bionomy as we proceed through the healing process.
