Back Ache? Joint Pain? Chronic Pain?

Experience Ortho-Bionomy®: A proven healing art using comfortable positions, gentle movements and preferred posture that allows the body to self-correct.

With Randall Winter, Advanced Instructor of Ortho-Bionomy®

Ortho-Bionomy is based in part on osteopathic principles and in part on relationship principles. Osteopathy seeks to restore comfort by returning the structure of the body to it's origional physical function. That is to say, retraining "necks" to be "functioning necks" or "hips" to be "fully functioning hips". Relationships come into play when I teach you how to come into a more comfortable relationship with your body and your life. The result is the Cadilac of body therapy. Your muscles relax, your joints become more mobile, and your body moves with ease. Your face begins to smile... Again!

"I've had this headache for days"

"I've been on the phone all day and can't move my neck."

"My back is so stiff. Maybe I slept wrong"

"I hurt my knee while running this weekend"

Maybe you've been walking around for some time dealing with the same familiar nagging aches and pains. Maybe no one has offered you a solution other than "take 2 asprin and call me in the morning". Perhaps someone has said to you,

"that's a sign of getting old" or

"you will just have to live with it."

Perhaps you even believed this yourself.

Your body may not have to hurt! There are alternatives. It is possible to reduce or eliminate your pain.

"Ortho" maeans straighten or correct
"Bio" means life
"nomy" means the study of the laws pertaining to

Arthur Pauls, D.O., the founder, defined it as "The correct application of the laws of life". It can be also defined as "The study of how life self-corrects". My favorite description is "Right Relationship" which describes how correct relationships cause self healing.

Ortho-Bionomy® was started in the early 1970's by an Osteopathatic Physician, Dr Arthur Pauls. He took his work from Osteopathic principles and his study of movement through Judo. Dr Pauls then further developed this system of self-correction and began to teach it to others.

• No specific problem - just plain stress reduction. It's very relaxing!
