This class is the foundation for Ortho-Bionomy Australia’s Practitioner Training Program and may also be taken as a stand-alone class.
Learn the key principles and concepts of Ortho-Bionomy plus pain relief techniques for the whole body. Discover the power of this leading somatic therapy to relieve both acute and chronic tension, pain and stress. You’ll learn specific movements and positional techniques that gently stimulate the body’s inherent, self-corrective reflexes to facilitate release of muscular tension and support nervous system calming.
If you’re a massage or other manual therapist these techniques will increase your treatment effectiveness, providing your clients with lasting relief of soft tissue tension and joint dysfunction while putting a lot less strain on your own body. If you don’t yet have a practice you can use this work to help family and friends have less pain and enjoy life more.

Learn how to apply gentle rehabilitative movements and positioning to support clients to release old posture habits and create new, more functional postures and movements.
In this class we learn to assess and address clients’ inefficient postural habits to support short-term pain reduction and long-term change. We’ll look at common postural conditions including spinal curvatures and scoliosis and learn how to address them with positional release and movement techniques. We’ll explore ‘post’ techniques to support the work done in a session and integrate new posture patterns.

Study with me!
I’m a registered Instructor with Ortho-Bionomy Australia Ltd (OBA). I offer classes, study groups and training consultations in-person and online. I also act as Advisor guiding students through the OBA training programs.
I have in-depth knowledge of OBA’s training programs from my 8 years of service on the Board of Directors, the Instructor Review Committee (IRC) of the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International (SOBI) in the USA and my current role as Chair of OBA’s IRC.
The Ortho-Bionomy principles, concepts and techniques are simple to apply and my classes are relaxed, accessible and even fun for all learning styles.
I’d love to see you in one of my classes soon! And if you’re in the Practitioner Training Program and don’t yet have an Advisor, contact me to discuss your options.
