What is Ortho-Bionomy?

It is a non-invasive somatic therapy that feels gentle and supportive while being quickly effective and giving lasting results. It identifies the root cause of tension & pain and stimulates the body’s inherent ability to self-correct when given the right information.

How many sessions will I need?
Clients typically experience relief from the first session and significant improvement after only 3-4 sessions. More complex conditions may need more sessions but clients are often surprised when long-term chronic conditions improve.

What happens in a session?
