What is Ortho-Bionomy?
Ortho-Bionomy® stimulates the body's self-balancing reflexes to reduce pain. During your session I use gentle techniques to hold you in a comfortable position that allows your body to change the stress and pain patterns which are causing discomfort thereby alleviating acute and chronic pain, increasing flexibility, improving circulation, and relaxing the entire body. The work is exploratory, improvisational and intuitive. I have been using this powerful and effective bodywork technique since 1992.
On a physical level each Ortho-Bionomy position helps reduce pain by resetting the sensors within the muscles, joints and fascia known collectively as proprioceptors. These sensors help determine the level of tension in our body's structure.
Creating correct Ortho-Bionomy positions can reset these sensors quickly. This supports a fast and effective reduction in muscle spasm, increased freedom of joint movement and a release of the fascia. Our bodies can then reduce acute and chronic pain, repair and regenerate, and move from stressful responses to wellness.
On an energetic level hidden patterns of dysfunction are revealed, explored, and exaggerated through subtle positioning and movement. Stuck or energy blocked patterns are transformed into a balanced flow of energy. Ortho-Bionomy stimulates an inner awareness that awakens a sense of natural balance and well-being.
As the energetic and physical come back into alignment, our natural function resumes and vitality is restored. All the energy and attention that was trying to protect your body is now available for a healing process the brings you closer to your natural design.
Ortho-Bionomy is a very innovative system for dealing with mysterious symptoms or conditions that elude successful treatment. It allows for a sophisticated analysis of the different dimensions and levels of body, mind and spirit and uses a natural approach to balance and synchronize you toward optimum health and pain-free living.
The founder of Ortho-Bionomy, Arthur Lincoln Pauls, D.O. , believed that the body had an innate intelligence that knows how to self-correct. Ortho-Bionomy’s positions are meant to engage that capacity. Often, this is achieved by observing and exaggerating what the client is already doing in their body.
Ortho-Bionomy compassionately engages the physical and energetic patterns that bring body, mind and spirit into harmony.

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 Krost is an amazing healer! I've received lasting results while experiencing a profound treatment each time we've worked together. Whether you're new to bodywork therapies, seasoned and have exhausted all other resources; know that Barry will help you get the results you're looking for while treating the root of the problem."

"Barry's work is very intiutive. His knowledge of the body and healing techniques is able to get at the root of issues and is he is able to address them successfully. His ability to integrate several techniques masterfully is a great strength. He has helped me for over 20 years."

"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.
