Subtle Physical & Unwinding Techniques
(Phase 5)
Aug 19-20
Davis, CA
9am-6pm
Class Description
This Ortho-Bionomy class combines sensitivity training with subtle physical releases. The student learns to follow the client’s self-corrective reflexes. These releases are excellent for people experiencing deep pain, including highly sensitive people who can not tolerate more vigorous work. This work bridges the body-mind connection and can be easily integrated into any bodywork session.
Ortho-Bionomy Subtle Physical and Unwinding Techniques can offer the practitioner specific tools:
1. To allow a further unwinding of a pattern
2. To help clients find further clarity in their nervous system about their tension
3. To find a fuller embodiment experience for the client
Specific areas of focus in the class will include:
~Neck
~Shoulders
~Ear Balance
~Elbow
~Ribs
~Lumbar Region
~Sacrum
This class is NCBTMB approved.
This class is a requirement for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Associate and Practitioner training programs.
