What is Ortho-bionomy?
Ortho-bionomy addresses a remarkable number of painful and debilitating physical and emotional conditions as well as being a safe and effective way to ease stress and promote relaxation.
Ortho-bionomy facilitates the therapeutic process and promotes natural body alignment, balance and pain relief.
It is a system that allows us to integrate our physical, emotional and mental experiences. The body's structure is one of the key focuses of the practice of ortho-bionomy.
When your body structure works, your circulation works better...you think better...you feel better.
What are the Benefits of ortho-bionomy?
Ortho-bionomy works with the "proprioceptive nerves," a complex system that transverses every inch of body, letting us know where we are in time and space.
Sometimes the body's natural ability to remain balanced is short-circuited. This may be due to stress, injury, accident, improper posture, emotional experiences and/or overtaxing the body's limits. When this happens, the body adapts as best it can, but in the process may create patterns of even greater stress.
With ortho-bionomy, pain eases and function, body structure, balance and overall well-being improve. These benefits generally continue after the session is finished.
Ortho-bionomy helps people to break the cycle of pain, without causing pain. Ortho-bionomy is very effective in recovery from injuries, surgery and stress. This is accomplished by reducing muscle tension, soothing the joints, increasing flexibility and range of movement, improving circulation and relaxing the entire body.
Postural work and gently movement exercises further enhance this neuro-muscular re-education process and empower the individual to interact with their own internal communication process to gently restore balance.
What is an Ortho-bionomy Session Like?
Typically, ortho-bionomy sessions last approximately an hour. Comfortable, loose fitting clothing is suggested to allow a full range of motion. The practitioner works with you to identify areas of discomfort, tension and pain as well as areas of comfort and ease of movement. The use of gentle movements, comfortable positioning and compression are incorporated. No forceful movements are used.
Every ortho-bionomy session is specifically designed around your individual needs. Your practitioner will rely on your verbal feedback to find the movements and positions to facilitate your body's release of stress and tension.
Home exercises are often suggested to further aid in relieving pain, restoring balance and function throughout the body.
Comfort is a key consideration in an ortho-bionomy session.
Is Ortho-bionomy Right for Me?
Whether you are looking for relief from specific discomfort or a safe and effective way to ease stress and promote relaxation, ortho-bionomy can be very beneficial. Ortho-bionomy is compatible with all healing systems. It is not a substitute for appropriate medical care, nutrition or exercise.
