Ortho-Bionomy® Ortho-Bionomy® is a gentle, non-invasive, system of healing that reminds the body of its natural ability to restore balance. It is based on a simple and profound philosophy: allow the body to correct itself. The hallmark of Ortho-Bionomy is pain relief. The founder, British-trained Osteopath Arthur Lincoln Pauls, discovered how to gently stimulate the body’s reflexes for self-correction in a way that supports a person’s own healing mechanisms. The body is stimulated using gentle movements, comfortable positioning, brief compression and subtle contact. The result is seemingly effortless pain and tension relief, natural re-alignment, relaxation and a deep sense of well-being. The individual is empowered to participate in their own recovery, and through the process can begin to rediscover the ability to heal and restore comfort, ease and balance back into their body. Ortho-Bionomy® "is defined in The CAM and Nursing Coding Manual as "Use of comfortable postitions and gentle movements to ease the body into releasing tension and pain and to re-establish structural realignment. The body is re-educated using pressure point techniques to facilitate proprioceptor nerve ending activity within the muscles, and stretch-relax action to educate the body to identify its own patterns and support its ability to find balance. Facilitates the release of mental and emotional holding patterns within the body. Any provider musting [sic] show training and / or certification."
