Online SOBI Sponsored Study Groups

The Society of Ortho-Bionomy International sponsors monthly Online Study Groups. They are primarily in a conference call format and are taught by various Registered Ortho-Bionomy Instructors via Zoom.

Our Study Groups cover a variety of topics and also count towards the study group requirements in the Practitioner and Advanced Practitioner Training Programs.

The receipt received upon registration will have a link to download the handout, any preview materials and the Zoom link. Be sure you have these materials available before you login to the study group.

There is a limit to class size, so be sure to register early.

After a group finishes, all attendees will be emailed an evaluation form for that session. To receive study group credit attendees will need to keep their cameras on during the study group and complete and submit the evaluation form within two weeks.

Recordings of select past study groups are also available in the SOBI Bookstore.

The study groups are a full three hours, with no credit given for homework time.

Out of respect for the Instructor and the other students please be on time for the study group.

In this online study group, we’ll review techniques, refresh key anatomy, and discuss common conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and arthritis.

In this study group, our objectives are to:

Refresh or learn the anatomy for the feet
Discuss special conditions including but not limited to plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toes, and arthritis
Share specific client issues related to the feet

Ask Luann Anything
with Luann Overmyer
Spend time with Luann Overmyer, an Advanced Instructor with over 40 years of Ortho-Bionomy experience and one of the original developers of the Society’s training programs. In this special session, she answers wide-ranging questions on working with pain, refining techniques, deepening client relationships, and supporting self-care. Whether you’re looking for practical skills or personal insight, Luann’s wisdom offers guidance to enrich both your practice and your own well-being.

Working with Neurological Dysfunction
with Bruce Stark
Explore the nervous system and discover how Ortho-Bionomy can gently support healing when this intricate network is affected by injury or disease. In this study group, you’ll learn ways to engage the body differently, helping to encourage reorganization, balance, and “rewiring” of the nervous system. With practical techniques and compassionate guidance, this session offers tools to support those navigating conditions like stroke, concussion, MS, Parkinson’s, and more.
