Ortho-Bionomy Classes

This course covers the history, philosophy and basic concepts of Ortho-Bionomy. 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, promoting expanded range of motion, increased circulation and a greater sense of well-being.

Ortho-Bionomy techniques are highly effective, easy to learn, easy on your body, and combine well with other bodywork and complimentary healing systems.

You will discover ways to:

Help relieve pain gently, without causing pain

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

A thorough review of Phase 4 concepts and applications from basic to advanced.

This foundational Ortho-Bionomy® class focuses on the extremities—the appendicular skeletal system, including the joints of the shoulders, arms, wrists, hands, hips, legs, ankles, and feet.

Students are introduced to the history, philosophy, and core concepts of Ortho-Bionomy, along with an overview of anatomy and basic release techniques specific to the major joints of the limbs. Through guided exploration, participants learn how gentle movements and positions of comfort can support the release of muscular tension and accumulated stress.

By working with the extremities, this course emphasizes how engaging the body’s inherent self-corrective reflexes can restore ease, improve joint mobility, and encourage structural alignment and balance from within. Special attention is given to developing sensitivity in touch, observation skills, and an understanding of how the limbs influence overall posture and movement patterns.

As part of a modular approach to learning, this course focuses specifically on the extremities to allow for a more in-depth and accessible study of this region of the body.

The Releases for the Cervical Spine 4 hour class will include hands on techniques for the Upper, Middle, and Lower Neck.

Included in the class tuition is access to a pre-requisite online video with necessary information about Ortho-Bionomy, so that we can spend more class time doing hands on work.

If you have recently taken an Ortho-Bionomy class this requirement may be waived, please ask for more details.

This class expands from the basic release techniques to advanced considerations for working with the pelvis and organs, and finding more challenging positions of comfort 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

This class expands from the basic release techniques to advanced considerations for working with the pelvis and organs, and finding more challenging positions of comfort 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.

This Ortho-Bionomy class combines sensitivity training with subtle physical releases. The student learns to follow the client’s self-corrective reflexes. These releases are excellent for people experiencing deep pain, including highly sensitive people who can not tolerate more vigorous work. This work bridges the body-mind connection and can be easily integrated into any bodywork session.

Ortho-Bionomy Subtle Physical and Unwinding Techniques can offer the practitioner specific tools:

• To allow a further unwinding of a pattern
• To help clients find further clarity in their nervous system about their tension
• To find a fuller embodiment experience for the client

Specific areas of focus in the class will include:

• Neck
• Shoulders
• Ear Balance
• Elbow
• Ribs
• Lumbar Region
• Sacrum

This class is NCBTMB approved.

This class is a requirement for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Associate and Practitioner training programs.

The focus of Phase Five is to move to a more subtle level of awareness of the practice and principles of Ortho-Bionomy. Specific techniques develop and increase the student's understanding and proprioceptive sensitivity to the self-corrective movements initiated by the client.

Through the practice of observing, following and supporting subtle movement patterns, muscular tension is released, range of motion is increased and pain is reduced.

In Phase Five, students are encouraged to do less and let the client be the guide for his/her exploration of change.

We are more than our muscles and bones. We are our energy, emotions, and all the experiences that have led us to this moment. How would it feel to have your clients connect with all of who they are? This Ortho-Bionomy class provides you with the awareness that all around our bones, muscles, and organs there is energy. When we make contact with this energy, we allow the body to be deeply recognized, to self-correct, and to respond in a more integrated manner. You will learn specific touch and energetic skills that can take any healing modality that you use to a deeper and more profound level. This class can significantly increase your sensitivity, which can enhance your ability to connect and work with your clients on both physical and energetic levels.

IN THIS CLASS YOU WILL:

• Feel the energy around a client

~ This can help you determine where the first area to work might be

~ Which areas are inviting you in? Which areas are not ready to be worked with yet?

~ This can help you evaluate how fast or slow your approach needs to be

• Experience how working gently and subtly can be very powerful and effective
• Fine-tune the energy of your own body in order to release your client's tensions.

~ As you the practitioner become more able to align your energy with the client, this can allow them to feel safe more deeply and quickly

In addition, exercises are taught to facilitate the client's ability to maintain balance through the neuro-muscular re-education of postural habits.

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.

This class presents isometric and isotonic techniques, including related anatomy, 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.

Participants learn how the conscious use of obstacles can help promote change from rigid physical patterns to greater mobility while allowing the client to actively participate in the session.

This class presents the Chapman's Reflexes system of identifying and stimulating reflex points to facilitate lymphatic drainage and balance the organs.

The class also focuses on the relationship between the neurolymphatic reflexes and the endocrine system and its effect on structural balance as well as the individual's physical and emotional well-being.

Cranial I Posterior Vault & Sphenobasilar Junction In this 3 Day Class the basics of the Cranio-Sacral Mechanism will be presented from the perspective of Indirect work.

In preparation for Cranial PRT we will address the anatomical specifics and releases for C1 & C2 or Atlas/Axis, Sacral Joint & Ligaments, and the Horizontal Fibers or Diaphragms of the Body.

We will address the Posterior Vault of the Cranium with specific releases for the Occiput & the Parietals as well as the Primary Sutures of the Skull. We will also address the primary driver or “Joint” of the Cranium, the Sphenobasilar Junction (Basilar Portion of the Occiput/Sphenoid).

The advanced study of the principles that govern the Ortho-Bionomy® relationship to the brain, fluids and structure.

Cranial I is a prerequisite for Cranial II. The Sphenoid Bone, or Anterior component of the S/B Junction, and it’s function is the primary driver or determinate for all of the Facial Bones.

We will first review the function of the S/B Junction learned in Cranial I, and use it for ongoing assessment during this 3 Day Class. We will address each Facial Bone and all of it’s articulations during this Class, from an Ortho-Bionomy and Positional Release perspective.

In addition to the Sphenoid Bone, this will include; Frontal, Ethmoid, Lacrimal, Nasal, Vomer, Zygoma, Maxilla (Palate), Palatine, and Mandible Bones. These frontal bones constitute the Orbit of the Eye, the body structure of the Nose, and the foundation of the Mouth.

The Temporal Mandibular Joint (TMJ) is a highly complex joint which has extraordinary demands placed upon it in the course of daily living. Eating and talking are two of its functions, which are vital to life. We will start by treating Muscles which have an influence or attachment on the TMJ.

The advanced study of the principles that govern the Ortho-Bionomy® relationship to the brain, fluids and structure.

We are focusing on the most advanced look at the Visceral System available. We are going beyond what we think. We can do and moving into the possibility of the work and all that it can become.

Join us and expand your skills, your knowledge and your ability to transform the work and your own life. A 40 hour week dedicated to advancing the power of Ortho Bionomy in our visceral system. This is the most advanced look you can study.

This is 3 day class that is on Thursday, Saturday-Sunday In this class we will explore the bony structures, organs, and the soft tissue; that help hold the structure together or pull on each other causing misalignments and dysfunctions.

We will be using an Ortho-Bionomy approach to help bring balance to the Thoracic cavity and throat (Ribs, Intercostal muscles, Diaphragm, Trachea and Bronchi) organs (Lungs, Pleura, Heart, Thyroid) and bring them into relationship with their surroundings.

Class Times: 9:00 am - 6:00 pm

An advanced educational experience that deepens the practitioner’s understanding of the relationships of the pelvis, organs and the upper thorax.

This class examines the relationships that often influence the structural integrity within the human system.

Breath is life. Each breath we take is a picture of who we have been, who we are, and who we yearn to be. Using osteopathic-based principles of Ortho-Bionomy, in this hands-on training we will: ·

• Recognize restrictions of the breath and offer it new options 
• Bring awareness to the connections between the breath and other parts of the body 
• Explore the possibilities of where the breath can lead us 
• Use painless comfortable positions to release tension patterns in the structure associated with the breath

It is amazing how such gentle techniques can give such deep releases. Ortho-Bionomy is easy on the practitioner and can easily be integrated into any massage or bodywork session.
