Ortho-Bionomy is a system of working with innate reflexes. Ortho-Bionomy bodywork introduces the concept of self-correcting reflexes as the basis for stimulating structural balance and client awareness. Gentle positioning is used to relieve joint and muscle pain and reduce stress.

The applications of Ortho-Bionomy can seem profound in their results. Let us look at the
shoulder, for example:

This gentle, noninvasive technique is based on the osteopathic philosophy and homeopathic principles of stimulating the body’s own resources for self-healing. It may be used on its own or combined with massage therapy.

I am looking at a 250,000,000 year-old fossilized sand dollar from England I bought on a recent trip to Dallas. What an enduring life form is this elegant little echinoderm. It gives me a sense of security that this was chosen by Arthur as a symbol to represent Ortho-Bionomy.

Ease and harmony — that’s what the body seeks to rediscover with Ortho-Bionomy, a gentle osteopathically-based system for working with the body’s self-corrective reflexes. According to Ortho-Bionomy founder Arthur Lincoln Pauls, D.O., ease and harmony are things we already know, and Ortho-Bionomy is one way of remembering.

By Linda Knittel If you want someone to rub away knots in your back or aching shoulders, don’t call an Ortho-Bionomy (O-B) or Feldenkrais practitioner. It’s not that these techniques can’t address such trouble spots; both are exceptional at easing tight muscles, healing injuries, and alleviating chronic pain.
