Ortho-Bionomy Lecture/Demo
Erin Long, Registered Practitioner
Date: TBD
Location:
Lecture/Demo: Ortho-Bionomy has an astounding ability to access the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It is elegant work that is gentle and deep. Ortho-Bionomy embraces the idea that if a body is at ease it has the greatest capacity to receive and process change on all available levels: structural, muscular, the movement of fluids, and greater functioning of the body's systems.
In my presentation I will talk about the history and development of Ortho-Bionomy, then I will take a volunteer from the audience so all may see how I work with a client. If you wish to be considered for the demonstration please wear flexible clothing that bends easily at all the major joints.
Ortho-Bionomy Fundamentals: Spine and Pelvis
Lynne Marotta, Instructor
Date: February 22-23, 2020
Time: 9am - 6pm
Workshop Price: early bird $295, regular price $345 after 1/25/20
Prerequisites: None!
CEU's: 16 NCBTMB approved CEU's
Location: Mind Body Institute (NEW LOCATION) 1556 Crestview Drive, Madison, TN 37115
Ortho-Bionomy Fundamentals: Spine and Pelvis covers Ortho-Bionomy history, philosophy and basic concepts. In this class you will observe and practice specific techniques for releasing imbalances in the neck, thoracic spine and ribcage, lumbar spine, pelvic girdle and sacrum. These techniques result in the release of pain and neuromuscular tension patterns and promote an expanded range of motion, increased circulation and a greater sense of well-being. Ortho-Bionomy Fundamentals: Spine and Pelvis (also known as “Phase Four for the Spine”) is one of two foundation and prerequisite classes for all further training in Ortho-Bionomy, and is the optimal introductory course.
Ortho-Bionomy techniques are highly effective, easy to learn, easy on your body, and combine well with other treatments. You will discover ways to:
• Help relieve pain gently, without causing discomfort
• Work with common problems such as whiplash injuries, low back pain, and sciatica.
• Release sensitive (trigger) points with little or no effort
• Experience and understand the natural reflexes in the body
• Develop your sensitivity to the subtle, structural changes that promote healing
Ortho-Bionomy Isometrics and Isotonics
Jessica Mark, Associate Advanced Instructor
Date: April 18-19, 2020
Time: 9am - 6pm
Workshop Price: early bird $295, regular price $345 after 3/21/20

CEU's: 16 NCBTMB approved CEU's
Location: Mind Body Institute (NEW LOCATION) 1556 Crestview Drive, Madison, TN 37115
Ortho-Bionomy Isometrics and Isotonics: Learn isometric and isotonic techniques for working with inefficient muscular tension patterns as well as underdeveloped muscle tone. Through the use of restraining movement, while the muscle is engaged, self-correcting reflexes are stimulated and habitual holding patterns can be released. Muscle tone and joint function can balance to create efficiency and ease of movement.

Subtle Physical and Energetic Releases- Phase 5: This class provides you with the sensitivity, awareness and palpation skills to engage the client’s physical and energetic body.

1. Shoulders

You can go back and forth between these simple techniques/movements and the basic fundamental work. The Post techniques also target integration of the spine and pelvis and exercise the inter-vertebral discs to bring health back to the spine and the whole person.

Practitioner Training Seminar: An Opportunity to Refine Your Practice
Because Ortho-Bionomy sessions are structured differently than many other types of bodywork this course addresses how to structure an Ortho-Bionomy session as well as how to integrate the work with other modalities that the participant may use in his or her practice. Through discussion and hands-on practice the participants will delve deeply into the mechanisms which create sessions that are coherent, fluid and ultimately effective. In addition, issues related to documenting sessions, dealing with the financial dynamics with clients, and creating appropriate boundaries between the client and practitioner are addressed. Participants will be equipped with the skills to bring the professionalism and the compassion that characterize Ortho-Bionomy sessions into his or her practice.
