Teaching the body to remember balance
Ortho-Bionomy® is a gentle, osteopathically-based form of body therapy that has a strong focus on the comfort of the individual. The practitioner and client work together by stimulating the body’s self-correcting and self-balancing reflexes to re-educate the body and restore normal function. There are no forced manipulations.
In Ortho-Bionomy®, the practitioner uses gentle movement and directional pressure to present the nervous system with a pattern held in the body. Generally, it takes from a few seconds to a few minutes for the nervous system to recognize the restrictions and send a message to the muscles to let go, when given the chance, the nervous system will always choose the most effective and efficient way to behave.
