Moving-Freely

Subtle Physical and Unwinding Techniques- Phase 5 Ortho-Bionomy® Class provides you with the sensitivity, awareness and palpation skills to engage the client’s physical and energetic body. 

Bridging the gap of the body and the mind, the physical and the emotions, and the conscious and the nervous system, allows our work to go even more deeply within our clients and ourselves. 

You Will Learn To:

   1. Develop more sensitivity in your hands and your whole body.
   2. Feel and follow the client’s inner movements.
   3. Use specific techniques to bring balance to your client’s body:          physically and energetically.
   4. Work distally from a point to release the body more fully.
   5. Barely move their body, yet release contractions deeply, easily,          and with little effort.

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.

These techniques facilitate the release of pain and tension patterns, promote expanded range of motion, and 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.

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.

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 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.

In this class we will explore the bones, cartilage, organs, and the soft tissue’s that help hold the structure together or pull on each other causing misalignments and dysfunction.

We will be using an Ortho-Bionomy approach to help stimulate the self correcting reflexes to bring balance and fluidity to the thoracic cavity, throat ( neck, ribs, intercostal muscles, diaphragm, trachea and bronchi) and organs (lungs, pluera, heart and thyroid).

Phase 5 Ortho-Bionomy is about having a conversation with the tissue, not an argument.

The gentle and subtle approach of this work is especially appropriate for releasing severe, acute pain, chronic patterning, and for interrupting the mental and emotional fixated aspects that reinforce the tension patterns. This class presents practical, gentle release techniques can seem almost magical in their effectiveness. Releases for psoas, pelvis, lumbars, coccyx, neck, shoulders, clavicle, ears, eyes, and jaw will be presented and practiced.

• Refine your subtle palpatory listening skills

• Clarify your capacity to more clearly track mental, emotional and physical aspects

• Observe and work with tissue preferences in relationship to structural alignment

• Reinforce the body’s wisdom not the patient’s storylines

• Detect mood in the tissue

• Use internal state shifts to influence and interrupt habituated storylines and holding patterns. 

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.
