Ortho-Bionomy Classes

This Ortho-Bionomy foundation class works with painless, comfortable positions to release tension patterns of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, plus the psoas, ilium rotation, and sacrum.

It is amazing how such gentle and simple techniques can give such deep releases. It is easy on the practitioner and can easily be integrated into any massage or bodywork session.

This class is NCBTMB approved, course# 70289557 This class is a requirement for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Associate and Practitioner training programs.

The beauty of working with the extremities is that they are often the most comforting and easily accessible point of contact. There is almost no setting where you cannot do simple, profound work by simply holding someone's hand, or beginning at their feet. 

Students will learn how to use gentle, position-based techniques to stimulate the body's self-corrective reflexes for the upper and lower extremities. This includes specific releases for joints like the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand, as well as the knee, ankle, and foot. The goal is to reduce muscle tension and stress, improve range of motion, and help the body achieve greater structural alignment and balance. 

This is an entry-level course, no previous experience required. 

Free Introductory Lecture Friday, December 5 at 7 pm

This fundamentals class includes the principles and history of Ortho-Bionomy, as well as the understanding of how Ortho-Bionomy works. In this class we will cover extremities - arms, hands, legs, and feet.

Movements and positions of comfort will be demonstrated to facilitate the release of muscular tension and overall stress by stimulating the inherent, self-corrective reflexes of the body.

The work can assist the body to create structural alignment and balance from within. Come discover how these gentle techniques can give such deep releases. It is easy on the practitioner and can easily be integrated into any massage or bodywork session.

This Ortho-Bionomy foundation class uses osteopathic-based, painless, and gentle body positions to work with both general and specific tension patterns. This method is practical, structure oriented, and works with neuromuscular self-correcting reflexes. The techniques of this class can alleviate tension patterns of the shoulder & psoas within 10-30 seconds.

It is amazing how such gentle and simple techniques can give such deep releases. It is easy on the practitioner and can easily be integrated into any massage or bodywork session.

In this class participants learn to evaluate and address inefficient postural habits through accurate observation and simple exercises.

Techniques to work with spinal curvatures and scoliosis, including related anatomy, are presented and practiced.

Post techniques focus on assessing and releasing areas of tension as well as integrating the work done in a session.

In addition, exercises are taught through neuromuscular re-education of postural habits to facilitate the client's ability to maintain balance.

This class presents the Chapman's Reflexes system of identifying and stimulating reflex points to facilitate lymphatic drainage and the balancing of the organs.

The class also focuses on the relationship between the neuro-lymphatic reflexes and the endocrine system and its effect on structural balance as well as the individual's physical and emotional well-being.

This introspective exploration of who we are directly affects our therapeutic relationship with our clients. This class combines sharing of information, body awareness exercises, and self-awareness of patterns.

You will walk away from this class with a deeper understanding of being a sensitive body therapist. Some students have wished that they had this class as part of their initial massage therapy training.

 Phase 4 is a Prerequisite for Cranial I. Phase 5 & 6 are recommended (or with permission of instructor). In this 3 Day

Class the basics of the Cranio-Sacral Mechanism will be presented from the perspective of Indirect work. In preparation for Cranial PRT we will address the anatomical specifics and releases for C1 & C2 or Atlas/Axis, Sacral Joint & Ligaments, and the Horizontal Fibers or Diaphragms of the Body. 

We will address the Posterior Vault of the Cranium with specific releases for the Occiput & the Parietals as well as the Primary Sutures of the Skull. We will also address the primary driver or “Joint” of the Cranium, the Sphenobasilar Junction (Basilar Portion of the Occiput/Sphenoid).

An advanced educational experience that deepens the practitioner’s understanding of the relationships of the pelvis, organs and the upper thorax.

This class examines the relationships that often influence the structural integrity within the human system.

Breath is life. Each breath we take is a picture of who we have been, who we are, and who we yearn to be. Using osteopathic-based principles of Ortho-Bionomy, in this hands-on training we will:

· Recognize restrictions of the breath and offer it new options

· Bring awareness to the connections between the breath and other parts of the body

· Explore the possibilities of where the breath can lead us

· Use painless comfortable positions to release tension patterns in the structure associated with the breath.

It is amazing how such gentle techniques can give such deep releases. Ortho-Bionomy is easy on the practitioner and can easily be integrated into any massage or bodywork session. Ortho-Bionomy uses gentle painless positions and movements to allow the body to self-correct back to balance and ease. It is easy on the practitioner to do and comforting for the client to receive.

This class is NCBTMB approved, course# 70334152 (Jim Berns) This class can fulfill an elective requirement for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International’s Associate, Practitioner, and Advanced Practitioner training programs.

This class expands from the basic release techniques to advanced considerations around working with the neck and shoulder, and the challenge to find movements and positions of comfort to facilitate release

This class takes a deep dive into the human fascia system and how we as Ortho-Bionomy Practitioners can not only listen to, but also address adhesions and trauma affected here.

This is a profound class and a lot of fun!

Study groups are tailored to the participants’ needs and give students a chance to review techniques, receive clarification about the application and principles of Ortho-Bionomy® and to gain insight about specific client cases or situations that concern them.

This study group provides a close look at the forelimb stay apparatus and how to work with it in Ortho-Bionomy, also bringing in the relationship of some forelimb fascia meridian lines. The stay apparatus is important to keep in mind when assessing lameness of the forelimb and how to treat it.

Time: 2:30-5:30 pm Mountain

This 32-hour online course will be presented in eight 4 hour “bite-sized” classes, with a half hour break about halfway through the day. For more thorough kinesthetic understanding of the material presented, you will need a palpation partner most days of class.*

You will have the opportunity to spend some time outside class coloring images and doing other explorations that facilitate your learning process. The 2-3 week interval between each class will allow time for you to practice anatomical palpation with friends and family and for the information to integrate into your system between classes.

If you have any questions about the contents of this course or wish to discuss the requirements and how they relate to your specific situation, please text 415.595.0328 so we can set up a time to talk further about how this course can meet your needs.

This course fulfills SOBI’s 32-hour anatomy requirement for the Practitioner Training Program.

*Contact me for more information about palpation partner requirements. The partner does not have to be the same person for each class.
