This foundation class covers the history, philosophy and concepts of Ortho-Bionomy and provides an overview and practice of the basic release techniques and anatomy for each major joint in the body. Students can begin to effectively apply Ortho-Bionomy methods, with clients, after this class. No pre-requisites are required.

This class is the starting point for learning Ortho-Bionomy.

Isometric and isotonic techniques for working with inefficient muscular tension patterns as well as underdeveloped muscle tone are presented and practiced, including related anatomy.

This class is an opportunity for attendees, from all backgrounds, to learn self-care practices to support their own structural wellness. Therapists from all modalities, as well as students of Ortho-Bionomy, will learn ways of providing clients with the most effective exercises to do after the session to integrate the changes experienced within the session. This supports enduring change.

Learning to explore, and identify efficient vs inefficient movement patterns adds a dynamic dimension to the more static positional release techniques of Fundamental Ortho-Bionomy. Participants will learn to recognize and feel patterns of joint and muscle movement, in order to facilitate increased range of comfortable motion.

In this class students will gain understanding, exploring and creating balance within the structures that hold us upright. Modern life tends to have us living in a fast-forward "lean" or in an overuse pattern. This creates structural disharmony, patterns of inefficient movement, pain, lack of movement and even rigidity. The aim of this class is to learn methods to notice these inefficient patterns of imbalance, learn ways to create freedom of movement, and ways to integrate these changes.

In this class students will gain understanding, exploring and creating balance within the structures that hold us upright. The aim of this class is to learn methods to notice these inefficient patterns of imbalance and posture, and learn ways to create freedom of movement, efficient posture, and to integrate these changes.
