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.

VISCERAL—BELOW THE DOME

​

This class presents an Ortho-Bionomy approach to restoring the functional movements of the abdomen and the organs of digestion. We will look at the viscera as a community within itself and explore how its movements extend out into the surrounding areas.

​

In this class, we will explore the sphincters, liver, gallbladder, stomach, intestines and more. We will learn to palpate and sense the organ themselves and how they relate to each other. We will also work with the bony structures and soft tissues that support them.

​

When I first took this class in 2007. I remember my instructor Darlene Smith saying “If the body is not changing we need to look at the viscera.” I spent six years assisting her as we discovered the potential of the body to heal and how the viscera played an important role. 

​

Did you know the liver can cause right shoulder, neck and breathing issues?

​

Did you know the mesentery root can cause issues with the right sacroiliac joint and prolapse of the uterus and bladder?

​

Did you know the large intestine can cause hip & low back pain, and sciatica?

​

These are just a few examples of how the viscera can affect the structure of the body. The viscera can also affect each other causing poor digestion, nutrient absorption and removal of toxic substances and wastes. Come join us and learn how the viscera play a vital role in our health and well being

In this class you will learn to work with posture, assess to recognize postural habits, use techniques and exercises to work with curvatures of the spine including scoliosis and to teach specific self-care exercises to the client for use between sessions. 

You will learn how to use Post techniques to assess your phase 4 spine and pelvis work as a check and balance system for effectiveness in context to standard releases.  You will then learn how to use the post techniques as integration to carry newly restored movement beyond the session.
