What is Ortho-Bionomy®?
Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-invasive, osteopathically based form of body therapy that is very effective in working with chronic stress and pain or problems associated with structural and postural imbalances. The therapist makes use of gentle movements and positions the body to reduce muscle tension, ease joints, increase flexibility and range of motion. A strong focus is placed on the comfort of the individual and no forceful manipulations are used.

Why Schedule a Session?

  • Ortho-Bionomy is indicated with an acute low back injury (“I threw out my back”).
  • When repetitive use or an injury results in chronic joint pain, OB is extremely effective for neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle pain.
  • When injury/overuse has resulted in loss of range of motion.
  • When one wants to try options other than surgery.
  • When massage and other treatments have had little effect on an existing  pattern

What to Expect At Your Session

We will start by briefly discussing the needs and expectations for your session. Then assess postural patterns, where indicated. You will want to dress in loose, comfortable clothing.

 Lying in a comfortable position on a massage table, I  will begin with light touch, to locate tight, tender or
sensitive points. Then your body is placed in a comfortable position and light compression may be added until a release is felt.

Generally the client experiences a softening of tight areas or feels warmth as the areas release. Often an overall feeling of relaxation is experienced (a great compliment to your day in Crested Butte).

The session generally lasts 45-60 minutes
