Orthobionomy

[bunky]

I had been somewhat interested in this modality, then on Wednesday had a massage from our own johnnymac. He incorporated some orthobionomy, and it was amazingly gentle and effective. I'd had three injuries in a row this winter and have been in PAIN - a ton of that was resolved in one massage! Since I work with seniors and with those with disabilities, and I also have a few clients who just have no pain tolerance at all (or maybe I should say ANY pressure is interpreted as pain in their bodies), this is something I feel I really need to do! I'd love to hear from others who have experienced the work and who do the work. I know AnastasiaB practices this...others?

And - thanks, John. I needed that! : I'll be back! You used the perfect combo of techniques and pressure!

Yay! Absolutely wonderful

I have had similar experiences with OB... standing pain resolved in one session, that didn't come back for months.

The OB class I was arranging for last month got canceled due to lack of registration so I am going up north to take it in Arcata at the end of this month.

Sharon, I have not had experience with receiving Otho-bionomy myself, but 11 years ago when I was in MT school Bruce Stark (who lived in Madison at the time) came to my school and did a presentation and demonstration on one of my classmates.
He made an impression on me and he certainly made Ortho-Bionomy look very interesting.
There are several advanced practitioners in the Madison/Milwaukee area if you are interested in looking into it more. Here is their practitioner lookup link:

And even though Bruce Stark has moved and is no longer in Wisconsin, there are other advanced instructors in this area...
