What is Ortho-Bionomy®?
Where did it come from?
Ortho-Bionomy® was developed by Arthur Lincoln Pauls, a British osteopath who in the 1970s stumbled over a study by Osteopath Dr. Lawrence Jones called "Spontaneous Release Upon Positioning". This study found that the body, when put into optimal positions, would self-correct on its own. Dr. Pauls took this study and started implementing it into his daily practice, and it eventually became what is now Ortho-Bionomy®.
How does it work?
Ortho-Bionomy® sessions use various gentle techniques that may support self-awareness, comfort, and ease in the body. These techniques can include gentle movement, precise positioning, and light pressure. The goal is to invite the body to respond without harsh manipulation or force, focusing on comfort rather than "quick fixes."
