Home Incoporating Ortho-Bionomy into an Existing Practice Interested in Ortho-Bionomy, but not a Body Worker? Workshops Testimonials Ortho-Bionomy Sessions & Demonstrations 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.

The body is smart. It tends to organize around functionality. So changes and releases that support functionality and balance are recognized and integrated naturally. Through the practice of Self Care we discover the self-corrective capacity of our bodies and empower ourselves in the process of self-healing and well-being. In this class we will take time to slow down and listen to the body’s responses. By noticing your sensations and discriminating between more or less comfortable, the body learns to choose comfort and move with ease. Learn to adapt the techniques of Ortho-Bionomy to relieve pain and tension in your own body. Self-Care addresses chronic aches and pains as well as ways to work with injuries. This class is appropriate for anyone wanting to explore comfort, and also for health care practitioners looking for specific exercises to give clients. In this class we will learn to: Relieve pain and tension with positional release. Create new patterns of pain-free movement. Increase flexibility and range of motion with isometric and isotonic exercises. Strengthen muscle tone through isotonic exercises. Improve posture for relief of strain and stress. Discover ways your body uses positions and movement to reclaim comfort and well-being. Since we will be working on the floor (which is heated), please wear loose, comfortable clothing and bring a pillow or two, and a mat and a blanket. One of the exercises calls for a couple of hand towels so bring those along as well if you remember. And if you get headaches you may want to bring 2 tennis balls and an old sock. Isometrics & Isotonics with Terri Lee Friday, March 26th - Saturday, March 27th, 2010, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Malott Office Park, 52nd Street and Tacoma, South of the Glendale Town Center, Zip Code 46220 Tuition: $275 ($325 after February 25th), 14 NCBTMB, 16 Ortho-Bionomy Units In this workshop, isometric and isotonic techniques for working with inefficient muscular tension patterns are presented and practiced. Through the use of these techniques, the self-correcting reflexes are stimulated and habitual holding patterns can be released. Participants learn how to support & exaggerate the client’s tension pattern, helping the client find greater mobility and allowing the client to actively participate in the session. Phase Seven with Terri Lee Sunday, March 28th, 2010, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Malott Office Park, 52nd Street and Tacoma, South of the Glendale Town Center, Zip Code 46220 Tuition: $150 ($175 after February 25th), 7 NCBTMB, 8 Ortho-Bionomy Units This class will look at the application of the geometric pattern used by Arthur Pauls, D.O., when doing 'hands-off work' with clients. Taking the concept of less is more to a more energetic level we will look at how this applies to our sessions. We will address the many ways of being present to another being, thus applying the principles of Ortho-Bionomy at its most subtle and fundamental level. Anatomy & Physiology with Denise Deig Friday, June 4 - Sunday, June 6, 2010, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Tuition: $350 ($395 after May 5th) 24 NCBTMB Credits Location: To Be Determined In this course the physiology and neurology underlying Phase 4 & 5 Ortho-Bionomy principles will be presented.

Format of class will be lecture and demonstration followed by practice time. Muscle groups to be covered in this 3 day course will include pelvis, lower extremity, trunk, upper extremity, head, neck and spine. 8 Hour Pre-Course Assignment: A list of muscles to be presented will be received prior to the class and you can choose to expand your anatomical knowledge base by using the Anatomy Coloring Book or by writing up origins, insertions and actions. This assignment will be due the first day of class. Required Text: "Positional Release Technique from a Dynamic Systems Perspective" by Denise Deig, MS, PT available at class for $50.

Phase 4 with Darlene Smith Friday, September 17, 2010, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Malott Office Park, 52nd Street and Tacoma, South of the Glendale Town Center, Zip Code 46220 Tuition: $150 ($175 after August 15th), 7 NCBTMB, 8 Ortho-Bionomy Units This basics class covers the history, philosophy and concepts of Ortho-Bionomy and provides an overview of basic release techniques. Movements and positions of comfort are demonstrated to facilitate the release of muscular tension and overall stress by stimulating the inherent, self-corrective reflexes of the body which help the body create structural alignment and balance from within. Visceral: Thoracics with Darlene Smith Saturday, September 18th - Sunday, September 19th, 2010, 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM Malott Office Park, 52nd Street and Tacoma, South of the Glendale Town Center, Zip Code 46220 Tuition: $275 ($325 after August 15th), 14 NCBTMB, 16 Ortho-Bionomy Units In this class we will extend our look at the visceral as a community within itself and how it reaches out into its surrounding areas. Organs-Torso-Extremities. We will connect with all the organs and hard frame protecting them starting with the hyoid and moving through the thoracic cavity to the diaphragm. We will explore the hard and soft frame of the thoracic cavity, release and balance the organs, thus allowing a connection to occur between the organ and it's neighboring components such as vertebra, ribs, and sternum. What Students have said about this class: “I for one can say. I was amazed how much my internal organs were ignored, they are the vital component that keeps one going, I felt as though my body was reborn again with healthy functioning organs, I was able to breathe better, slept and overall had more energy.” “Somehow I felt a sense of clarity. Before the class my visceral was fuzzy to me. Just a place I dealt with. After the class and feeling where each organ was I gained a clearer sense of me inside and in my outer life. Life just seemed to flow better.” Ortho-Bionomy International Conference Orlando, FL Thursday, April 29th - Sunday, May 2nd, 2010 All are invited to the 15th Ortho-Bionomy Conference in Orlando, Florida.
