The Philosophical Roots of Ortho-Bionomy: Principles That Shaped the Practice
Ortho-Bionomy is rooted in principles drawn from osteopathy, martial arts, and homeopathy. Arthur Lincoln Pauls described it as “the right application of the natural laws of life.” This blog traces those laws — from comfort and proprioception to gentleness and resonance — revealing how Ortho-Bionomy aligns with the body’s intelligence and the rhythms of nature.
The Healing Reflex in Ortho-Bionomy: The Body’s movement towards Alignment
In Ortho-Bionomy, the healing reflex begins when the proprioceptive nerves reset through positional release. It is the body’s innate movement toward balance, alignment, and flow — a reflex that shows us healing arises from within.
Phase Four Ortho-Bionomy: The Art of Comfort and Gentle Self-Correction
Phase Four Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, comfort-based approach to healing that supports the body’s own self-corrective reflexes. Rooted in ease, this phase honours the body’s innate wisdom—inviting tension to release and balance to return, not through pressure, but through presence. Ideal for those recovering from injury, living with chronic pain, or seeking a trauma-informed approach, Phase Four offers a soft, deeply respectful path toward embodied ease and integration.
