Ortho-Bionomy Classes

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

This foundation level course covers the History, Principles, Philosophy and Reflexes of Ortho-Bionomy. We will be looking at the fundamental techniques of working with the spine/ribs, shoulders and pelvis.

We will use practical hands on skills to feel the body's self-corrective reflexes as we assess, release tension patterns and re-educate the body. You will be able to put your new skills to use by the end of the class.

This Ortho-Bionomy foundation class uses osteopathic-based, painless, and gentle body positions to work with both general and specific tension patterns. This method is practical, structure oriented, and works with neuromuscular self-correcting reflexes. The techniques of this class can alleviate tension patterns of the shoulder & psoas within 10-30 seconds.

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

This class is NCBTMB approved, course# CE4020723 (Melissa Malm). It can be taken as a stand-alone class or as preparation for a 16 hour Ortho-Bionomy class.

This three hour introductory class can be used for Phase 4 requirements for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Associate and Practitioner training programs.

In this class we will look at the history, philosophy, and principle of Ortho-Bionomy and provides an overview of the basic release techniques for each major joint in the body.

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.

Areas of the body covered will include the spine, Ribs and pelvis.

Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle form of bodywork that can release tension and discomfort in the body. The techniques applied are easy to learn and stimulate the body's natural self-corrective reflexes, releasing tension patterns and helping the body come back into balance.

This class covers the history, philosophy, and principles of Ortho-Bionomy, as well as learning observation skills and the ability to recognize subtle changes that signify the release of tension and contractual patterns in the muscles and connective tissues. It is easy on the client and the practitioner.

This class is open to massage and other bodywork therapists, movement educators, and anyone interested in pain relief for themselves, friends, or family.

Learn gentle, non-invasive techniques for the: Psoas, Pelvis, and Sacrum Neck and Thoracic Low Back ​

Learn and practice some of the Principles:

Move away from pain towards ease

No attachment to the outcome

Respect the wisdom of the individual

This class covers the history, philosophy, principles, and methods of Ortho-Bionomy. Participants will learn to feel the body's self-corrective reflexes through hands-on practical skills.

This class will focus on fundamental techniques for working with the joints of the extremities. Learn specific hands-on techniques to provide gentle pain relief with clear results.

This foundation class covers the history, philosophy, and concepts of Ortho-Bionomy and provides an overview of the basic release techniques and anatomy for each major joint in the body. 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 create structural alignment and balance from within.

This course is typically taught for specific body areas/anatomy, such as spine, extremities, thoracics, etc. to break the coursework into more manageable sections.

This class focuses on Extremities Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls, the founder of Ortho-Bionomy, organized his work into Phases Four, Five, Six and Seven, with the foundation work beginning with Phase Four. This is covered in the Phase Four course.

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

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

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

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

Through observation, 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

In this class, participants learn to evaluate and address inefficient postural habits through accurate observation and simple exercises.

Techniques to work with spinal curvatures and scoliosis are presented and practiced. Post techniques focus on assessing and releasing areas of tension as well as integrating the work done in a session.

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

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

 Phase 4 is a Prerequisite for Cranial I. Phase 5 & 6 are recommended (or with permission of instructor). 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.

In this class we will use Ortho-Bionomy to explore the urinary tract and the reproductive system. We will work with the individual organs and look at their relationship to each other. We will also look at the surrounding soft tissues and the supporting structures. We will work with the kidneys, ureters, bladder, uterus, prostate, ovaries, spine, pelvis, and the pelvic floor.

“When we work with the pelvis. We are addressing the very core of our stability. Pelvic stability has a major impact on how we meet the earth and walk in the world on a daily basis as well as enhancing total body health”. Darlene Smith

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.

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

This class expands from the basic release techniques to advanced considerations around working with the neck and shoulder, and the challenge to find movements and positions of comfort to facilitate release

This class takes a deep dive into the human fascia system and how we as Ortho-Bionomy Practitioners can not only listen to, but also address adhesions and trauma affected here.

This is a profound class and a lot of fun!

In this study group we will review what we learned in the Pelvic Visceral class. Using Ortho-Bionomy to explore the urinary tract and the reproductive system. We will work with the individual organs and look at their relationship to each other. We will also look at the surrounding soft tissues and the supporting structures. We will work with the kidneys, ureters, bladder, uterus, prostate, ovaries, spine, pelvis, and the pelvic floor.

You will have the opportunity to spend some time outside class coloring images and doing other explorations that facilitate your learning process. The 2-3 week interval between each class will allow time for you to practice anatomical palpation with friends and family and for the information to integrate into your system between classes.

If you have any questions about the contents of this course or wish to discuss the requirements and how they relate to your specific situation, please text 415.595.0328 so we can set up a time to talk further about how this course can meet your needs.

This course fulfills SOBI’s 32-hour anatomy requirement for the Practitioner Training Program.

*Contact me for more information about palpation partner requirements. The partner does not have to be the same person for each class.
