Does Ortho-Bionomy hurt?

No. It shouldn’t be painful or cause more pain. These movements and positions are non-forceful and are designed to move toward ease and away from tension. If it hurts – tell us...don't be shy. Communication with the Practitioner is important and essential for a productive session.

What happens in the body?
After a release, the body is able to get a sense of its internal placement from the inside that it can't get from the outside. This gives it a chance to self-correct its "misunderstandings" given the input through it's new position. This type of therapy works deeply within the body without working deeply. There is a resetting of joints by making them more balanced giving the body a chance to re-educate itself through its internal feedback system.

What happens in a session?
Clients wear loose comfortable clothes so they may be positioned with ease. The Practitioner gently moves the client into positions of comfort. Movements are made toward ease and away from tension and away from resistance. Usually, this position is an exaggeration of a preferred pattern of movement or place of comfort. It is through these preferred postures and positions that releases that a session begin to unfold and reorganize. Ease of movement and a more efficient function of an area has an opportunity to emerge. The Practitioner may suggest some home exercises to help reinforce the new and released areas. This self-care helps to integrate the changes introduced in the session. Sessions last about one hour in length though the work may keep on unfolding within your body for days after a session. This is because when changes occur - shifts will also happen to support or facilitate new arrangements within the body. Also, this will give compensation patterns a chance to let go.
