An Introduction
to Ortho-Bionomy DVD
Bruce Stark presents the theory and demonstration of Ortho-Bionomy. Filmed in an actual seminar room, Bruce describes the theory and foundation and shows positional release to major joints in the body. Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive body therapy which is highly effective in working with chronic stress, injuries and pains or problems associated with postural and structural imbalances. Similar to Positional Release, the practitioner uses gentle movements and positions of the body to facilitate the change of stress and pain patterns. A strong focus is placed on the comfort of the individual, no forceful manipulations are used.

Ortho-Bionomy was
developed by Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls, a British osteopath, who wanted
to find a way to work with the body which honored the body's inherent
wisdom. From his experience as a Judo instructor and through his
training as an osteopath, he found ways of working with the body by
exaggerating the body's preferred postures, thereby permitting the
body's self-healing process to create greater balance and alignment. He
discovered that by working WITH the body and not against it, the body
could find balance on its own without having to use force to correct it.
The term "Ortho-Bionomy" comes from "ortho" meaning correct or straight, "bio" meaning life, and "nomy" meaning the laws of or study of. Dr. Pauls defined the term then as "the correct application of the laws of life." |
