Picture
Ortho-Bionomy is an educational system developed by Arthur Lincoln Pauls who taught the techniques in phases. Phase 4 is the point at which his development of the modality was ready to be taught to others and is the foundation for  Phases 5 through 8.  This stand alone modality allows practitioners to perform gentle, non-invasive techniques that work with chronic stress, injuries and/or problems associated with postural and structural imbalances.  There is a subtle shift from the idea of "fixing" your client toward the support and facilitation of the client's own healing process.

Massage Therapists and practitioners of many body work modalities can start to use these techniques as soon as they have completed a Phase 4 foundational class. These courses focus on the spine, extremities, pelvis and trunk and are usually taught in one or two weekends. Not only are the techniques simple to incorporate into your practice, they are also gentle on you, the practitioner. These techniques help to extend the career of many therapists.

Students of Ortho-Bionomy often go on to complete the full program. To read more about the levels of training, visit The Society of Ortho-Bionomy Training Programs. In addition, you can sign up for our mailing list to receive announcements for upcoming  Ortho-Bionomy courses in South Florida.
