Foundation Level: Introduction & Essential Elements. Spine & Pelvis. 18 units / CE Hrs
Proprioceptive Self-Correction: Melting Muscles and Restoring Alignment

Why Ortho-Bionomy? Because it is the most comprehensive system of proprioceptive self-correction available today. Many systems of body therapy have been finding out that too much pressure and pain causes the body to tense, resulting in limited effectiveness. Imagine a comprehensive system with a range of techniques that release tension and pain without causing pain, restore alignment, improve function and well-being with more ease, immediacy and lasting benefit than you might have thought possible. Yes, REALLY!

Essential Elements: Connection & Sensing
Learn about the science of proprioception, then experience it. Science comes alive as you explore the incredible effectiveness of working WITH the body’s self-correcting reflexes and WITH the client. This workshop trains students in the essential touch of deep self-correction, such as how much pressure to use, how to sense and engage the client's self-correction; how to elicit feedback from clients when needed (ie. clients with debilitating pain), and how to give feedback essential to your body’s healing process and helpful to fellow learners. (Recommended to be repeated for the Practitioner Program.)

Spine (neck and back) & Pelvis
This class is known as Phase 4 but think of it as Phases 1-4. Movements and positions of comfort facilitate the release of overall stress and tension in muscles, fascia, ligaments and tendons by stimulating the body's self-corrective, proprioceptive (neuromuscu- lar and neuro-ligamentous) reflexes, often in as little as 10 seconds. Once the tension / imbalance is released, the body returns to its natural alignment, restoring function, circulation and overall well-being from the inside- out. These techniques help relieve all kinds of joint pain, muscular pain, fascial pain, referred pain, tingling and problems related to nerve impingement; increase range of motion and flexibility; speed recovery from injury; as well as promote deep, restorative relaxation, which is so important for health and overall well-being.

Multi-dimensional, in-depth learning includes: 1) principles and theory, 2) anatomy review, 3) explanation and
demonstration of technique, 4) step-by-step review of technique, 5) ample time for hands-on practice by par-
ticipants, 6) experiential learning by giving and receiving the work, 7) further discussion and question-answer.

Each workshop includes instruction in:
• Assessment for where to work
• Releases for the tension creating the imbalance,
• How releases can actually take place in 10-90 seconds
• Integration to achieve long-lasting results
• Body mechanics to help the therapist maintain ease in their own body while helping clients
• How to adapt these techniques to ease chronic tension, trauma, or for persons with severely restricted
movement will be discussed, as time allows
• Receive approximately 3 hours of bodywork each day
• Put new skills to work for you the next day.

For in-depth learning, Phase 4 is taught in segments to cover release techniques for virtually every joint in the body, and is repeated at least once in the Practitioner Training Program:

Spine & Pelvis (includes Neck), some specifics:
• Four ways to release the psoas without causing pain, a significant factor in low back pain and posture
• Self-care for the psoas, the fight-flight-or freeze stress reaction, essential for chronic tension
• Soft tissue tension release and mobilization of each vertebra of the spine, including every vertebra in the
neck, thoracic and lumbar spine
• Balance the pelvis, including mobilization for each ilium, the sacrum and coccyx
• Releases important to alleviate sciatic pain, scoliosis, and to relieve and prevent headaches
• The relationship of spine and pelvis to endocrine function.
• Spine & Pelvis is a pre-requisite for work with Dr. Chapman's Neurolymphatic Reflexes.

Please bring to class: 1 sheet for massage table, a pillow and a face cradle cover; pen or pencil and paper; plenty of water and a snack for yourself to enjoy at our mid-afternoon break; your license number.

No Pre-requisites. All 3 Sundays, Only $400 if by 8/15 / $430 if by 8/22 / $450 after 8/22.
Registrations are coming in. Register now to reserve your spot. Class limited to 10 people.

ETHICS & EMOTIONAL ISSUES, 6 units / CE Hrs.
For professional bodyworkers.

Having a clear, well-founded Code of Ethics provides therapists with a solid platform on which a successful practice can fluorish. As bodyworkers, it is crucial that we understand and are prepared to meet the special challenges that arise in an intimate work setting such as ours. Creating a safe environment and effective communication with clients of expectations and limitations is foundational.

The intention of this workshop is to support and empower therapists in refreshing their professional and personal Code of Ethics with renewed understanding. Through an open-hearted, non-judgmental discussion of unusual situations that arise, surprises, fears and doubts, therapists can feel less isolated and gain insight. Topics covered will be open to participants and will include clarifying roles, boundaries, limitations, what to do when emotions arise, areas of personal growth and how to meet them responsibly.

Foundation Level: Dynamic Release of Restricted Movement & Patterns (aka Exploration of Movement Patterns)
No pre-requisites. Not a dance class. Hands-on work is performed with the client resting on a massage table.
Workshop location: Scroll down for specific workshop locations and details.

Bodyworkers use movement in their work everyday. With this workshop, you’ll be able to transform simple movements into an effective component of each session—and make a subtle and powerful shift in your work. Students often say this class is the easiest to integrate with current modalities. Clients love it!

The entire body will be covered. As with all Ortho-Bionomy, working with movement initiates a self-corrective process that restores alignment and function, re-educates and strengthens the body, enhances bodymind awareness and overall well-being. Body mechanics to help the practitioner is emphasized throughout the workshop. Develop your skill to recognize and palpate movement patterns of joints, muscles, fascia and whole body movement patterns. Experience how movement can be an invaluable tool for every session to:

• Assess where to work in minutes, even seconds,
• Free the body of restrictions and pain,
• Demonstrate expanded range and freedom of movement,
• Re-pattern and integrate improvements achieved for deep, long-lasting benefit,
• Increase circulation and lymph flow with ease,
• Release stuck, stubborn areas,
• Create connection throughout the body and improve coordination, flexibility and fluidity,
• Give clients a positive, “alive” feeling in their bodies and enhance physical presence,
• Add a fun, effective, and dynamic element to your work that is easy on the practitioner and client.

A few spontaneous comments from students made at the conclusion of this workshop:

“I didn’t realize how much movement can add to a session. My client was on Cloud Nine.” A.V. LMT-IL

“I’m starting to sense what’s happening in the body so much more!” J.N. LMT-IL

“The increase in range of motion from that technique was remarkable.” A.B. LMT-IL

“After only one class, I’m doing things with clients that I never would have considered doing before. The results are great. In a matter of minutes I know where the client needs work. I can hardly wait to learn more.” C.W. LMT-IL

"This class allowed me to feel a completeness about releases that were occurring in my own body. The releases opened up a range of movement in one area then expanded to release another area and then integrated with more movement. The freedom I now feel in my body is complete and 'sealed'. I feel great!" Pattie, Glen Allen, VA
