Moving-Freely

This foundational class covers the history and principles of Ortho-Bionomy and specific positioning techniques to stimulate natural self-correcting neuro-muscular reflexes for all parts of the body.

These techniques facilitate the release of pain and tension patterns, promote expanded range of motion, and offer a greater sense of well-being.

This work is easy to learn, easy on your body, highly effective, and combines well with any system of health care.

Releases for the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine; ribs; sternum; diaphragm; psoas; quadratus lumborum; ilium rotation; piriformis, sacrum; and coccyx will be demonstrated and practiced.

The Posture and Post Techniques class enhances your Ortho-Bionomy® work.  Participants learn to evaluate and address inefficient postural habits through focused observation and simple exercises.  This includes working with gait, scoliosis, and the natural curves of the spine.  

Post Techniques are designed to directly correlate to and support the Phase 4 spine Ortho-Bionomy techniques and work.  These techniques act as a check and balance offering us tools for assessment, integration, and release. Together, Posture and Post Techniques assist in reeducating the body towards more optimal functioning and play a vital role in our client’s ability to self-recognize and embody new postural habits.

Isometric and isotonic techniques offer the opportunity to work with inefficient muscular tension patterns, tone muscle tissue that has become flaccid, and smooth out any bumps or jittery grabs within the muscle spindles.  By restraining movement or toning through movement while a muscle is engaged, we stimulate the nervous system and reciprocal inhibition, cue the self-correcting reflexes into action, and greater balance between opposing muscles or muscle groups is encouraged.  

The process is remarkably quick, 8-10 seconds, and offers us a powerful tool to open stuck or contracted areas that do not respond to other techniques. The client is an active participant in this process, bringing self-awareness and recognition of the work.  In this class isometric and isotonic exercises will be taught and practiced offering relief from chronic pain, rigid muscle patterns, postural imbalances, and more.

Releases for Releases for the shoulder, ribs, rhomboid, scapula, clavicle, elbow, wrist and hand, piriformis, femur, knee, lower leg, ankle and foot will be demonstrated and practiced.

This class focuses on opening restrictions in the body by exploring and observing the movement patterns of joints and muscles.  

Participants learn to recognize and palpate functional, inherent and preferred movement capacity. Techniques for sensing, assessing and releasing tension and restrictive patterns through movement are demonstrated and practiced. No prerequisites.   

Increase your palpation skills

Learn to assess functional and inherent joint movement

Learn to palpate for muscle fiber movement preferences

Open fascial restrictions gently and painlessly Facilitate greater range and ease of movement in joints 

Augment flexibility throughout the body
