What happens during an Ortho-Bionomy session?
A strong focus is placed on the client's comfort.
Usually the practitioner works with the client
fully clothed on a massage table, but may
also work with the client seated or standing.
A thorough history is taken to identify comfortable
and appropriate techniques for the client.
The practitioner will often use gentle contact,
movement, compression and positioning for
the resolution of injury and conditions or
symptoms, which the client may be experiencing.
The practitioner and client work together
to monitor the releasing if tension patterns.
An Ortho-Bionomy practitioner may incorporate
some or all of the following techniques into
a session: positional release, range-of-motion
exploration, isometric and isotonic techniques,
posture exercises, gentle rocking, subtle
or minute movements, visceral or lymphatic
work and energy movements away from the body.
A typical session lasts approximately one
hour. At the end of the session, the practitioner
may identify self-care exercises for the client
to do after and between sessions to continue
the releases and to help remind the body of
its new patterns. Initially, two to four sessions
are encouraged after which an ongoing program
of self-care and/or individual sessions can
be developed if required.
