Ortho-Bionomy is gentle therapy that releases acute and chronic pain with specific body and joint positions that engage our natual ability to relax muscle tension, restore balance and stimulate self-healing and repair.
Ortho-Bionomy is known as a gentle way of releasing acute and chronic muscle painIt uses specific tender points and precise joint positions to help muscles release the tension that is causing pain. This also promotes relaxation throughout the body and helps restore the natural functioning of all your other body systems.
From the beginning of your session I pay close attention to how your body responds to the Ortho-Bionomy techniques we use to assess and release contracted muscles, trigger points and restricted joints. In Ortho-Bionomy we look for ways to support the bodies natural ability to repair itself. While focusing on pain reduction and increased joint movement, we can also support healthy arrangement of all of the bones and joints, tendon and ligaments so they can work together more easily. Ortho-Bionomy benefits the fascia that holds everything together and includes most of our pain and sensory receptors, the circulatory system, endocrine system, digestive system and the lymphatic systems. You may find yourself in a very deep state of relaxation when receiving Ortho-Bionomy with a greater inner awareness and balance of body, mind and spirit and sense of safety and well being. |

The founder of Ortho-Bionomy, Arthur Lincoln Paul, took the principles and technique of Osteopathy into a unique direction.Building on his Osteopathic Training and mastery of Judo, he developed Ortho-Bionomy's in the 1970's by carefully observing and exaggerating the physical restrictions behind muscle and joint pain without causing more pain. He learned that the body has an innate intelligence that can self-correct itself when placed into specific joint/body positions and held correctly safely for the correct amount of time.
Ortho-Bionomy also addresses energetic imbalances and blockages that cause pain and restriction.Through subtle positioning and movement, energy blockages can be released, and energetic balance restored. We often find a connection between the physical and energetic that is causing acute or chronic pain and help the body come back to a healthy balance it can maintain.
Clients usually experience significant improvement to their pain in 1-3 sessions depending on individual factors. Most importantly each client gets a unique session that matches their bodies natural needs. |

Testimonials about Ortho-Bionomy
Our family loves Barry! He has helped us with issues ranging from bunions to patella tendonitis, from menopausal symptoms to parental relationships...
Barry explained that he practiced a combination of healing techniques, but the session was not going to be a traditional massage. I went with it. He sensed what needed attention without my having to tell him. One session turned me into a huge fan and I immediately sent my husband, son, and neighbors.
I asked Barry what “Ortho…” means, he said that what he does is similar to what an osteopath would have done 100 years ago. He’s also used the word Synchronicity. While I struggle to understand how it works, I know his methods have helped me and my family heal on all sorts of levels, and for that I am grateful. "

"Barry is a healer that is imbued with an unbelievable awareness of his own power. With this great healer, I knew I was in good hands, for trust must be readily available when working with any healer. My personal journey was being exposed and being with someone I could trust was very important. I knew I had a safe place to come undone and that Barry was the right person to work with through this painful and joyous journey to healing.
Barry has an innate ability to tune into your body and using various modalities he has helped my body heal in a short amount of time. With 5 car accidents and abuse, my body was in so much pain I could not sleep at night. My body hurt so much it was debilitating night and day. Barry has helped me find more movement in my body and the pain has reduced drastically. He just has a way of making you see things is a positive light and instead of giving up your identities and cutting ties with the pass afflictions/conflicts he helps you see the positive in them, so you can transform and have a higher understanding.
I highly recommend trying the Ortho-Bionomy work, the family constellation work and Lymph work. It has helped me on so many levels of my being: spirit, emotional, mental, physical, etc.
