Addressing Chronic Pain with Ortho-Bionomy with Bruce Stark
Working with Chronic Pain: Facilitating Neuroplasticity
Working with clients who have chronic pain can be confusing, challenging and intimidating for practitioners. Fortunately, neuroscience is uncovering new ways of understanding pain with new perspectives for addressing pain. We now know that pain isn’t just a sensation but it’s also a state of the nervous system. The techniques used in Ortho-Bionomy and the principles that we follow in approaching the body are ideally suited to address the dynamics of pain through the body tissues and nervous system.
In this course, we will cover:
- The current understanding of the mechanisms creating and perpetuating chronic pain
- The many different types of pain and their potential causes
- How Ortho-Bionomy engages with the body to facilitate the reorganisation of pain signalling
- Techniques which allow us to avoid the pain response and increase functional responsiveness
- How to help clients understand the process of working with chronic pain and ways for us to work together with them to support long-lasting changes
At the end of this class you’ll feel confident to work with chronic pain conditions, have skills to address many different types of pain, understand the mechanisms which create chronic pain, and you’ll be able to communicate effectively with your clients ways to continue to progress and change the pain state.

Trauma Resolution with Bruce Stark - Adelaide
Accessing the Resources for Integration There are many ways in which the physiological and emotional components of unresolved trauma can remain held within the body's tissues and nervous system. For some people there is an unsettling in their body which isn't able to access the usual easing and calming responses that we would experience in a session. Sometimes the resources of the body to address trauma aren't available resulting in an exaggeration of the symptoms or distress. See More |
