Ortho-Bionomy® FAQs
What is Ortho-Bionomy®?
It is a highly effective system of bodywork based on a simple and profound philosophy: allow the body to correct itself. The hallmark of Ortho-Bionomy® is pain relief. The founder, British-trained Osteopath Arthur Lincoln Pauls, discovered how to gently stimulate the body's reflexes for self-correction in a way that supports a person's own healing mechanisms. The result is seemingly effortless pain and tension relief, natural re-alignment, relaxation and a deep sense of well being.
What are the benefits of Ortho-Bionomy®?It helps people break the cycle of pain -- without causing pain. It is very effective for recovering from injuries, surgery and stress. It aids recovery by reducing muscle tension, soothing the joints, increasing flexibility and range of movement, improving circulation and relaxing the entire body. Sometimes the body's natural ability to remain balanced is short-circuited due to stress, injury, improper posture, emotional experiences, accident, or by over-taxing the body's limits. When the body is out of balance, it adapts to the best of its ability, but in the process, it may create patterns of even greater stress. The simplicity of the techniques mean practitioner and client may work together to re-educate dysfunctional patterns and restore normal functioning.

What is an Ortho-Bionomy® session like? Typically, sessions last approximately one 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. Gentle movements, comfortable position, brief compressions and subtle contacts are used. No forceful movements or pressures are used. Every session is specifically designed around your individual needs. Your practitioner will rely on your verbal feedback to find the techniques which best facilitate your body's return to natural alignment. Typically, the relief of stress and tension lasts for days or longer after a session. Your practitioner may suggest self-care release techniques you can do at home. These self-care techniques further aid in relieving pain, restoring function, and rebalancing the body.
