Ortho-bionomyOrtho-bionomy is a method of positional release based on the work of British osteopathic physician Arthur Lincoln Pauls, who in turn drew on the work of American osteopath Lawrence Jones. Together, the practitioner and the client together find a position which relieves the discomfort at issue. Typically this is an exaggeration of the habitual position that is causing the person's problem. This exaggerated position is held briefly while the person relaxes and the body corrects itself. A first principle of ortho-bionomy is to work with and not against the body: nothing is forced and the treatment is completely comfortable.For further reading:
