Society of Ortho-Bionomy, Australia

What is Ortho-Bionomy? Our body is created with a pattern for balance and function. Ortho-Bionomy reminds us of our inherent ability for movement and change. We learn through our bodies. Our many life experiences, whether physical, mental or emotional, help shape us into what we are today. Injuries, inefficient posture and stress can influence our natural movements, body functioning and self-expression. Any ongoing tension in our anatomy may affect our equilibrium and comfort, consciously or unconsciously. Our bodies seek the most efficient way to move through proprioceptive understanding. Specialised sensory receptors in the body provide information to our brain, monitoring our body positions, movements and levels of comfort and stability. Ortho-Bionomy uses simple, non-forceful body techniques, with the natural movements found in each person, to stimulate awareness and relaxation. This reminder and new proprioceptive information allows our body to respond naturally and seek to correct any imbalance. (page 1 of 3)
