Home Sessions & Location Testimonials Contact Us   Testimonials I have lived with neck pain for years. After a round of sessions of Ortho-Bionomy, and doing the exercises my therapist suggested, I am pain free the majority of the time. I did not know that was possible. I look forward to continued progress. ~ D.S.

Much like the string on a bow, when contracted, it keeps our bodies bowed forward. To release the over stretched back muscles you must first release this anterior fascia. This helps with postural problems as well as chronic structural tension patterns. This class teaches the anatomical locations of the Bowstring and the Ortho-Bionomy techniques that release the holding patterns of this fascia.
