Principles of Ortho-Bionomy®

Maintain our own energy

Non-judgemental

Let go of the outcome

Less is more

Maintain right relationship with ourselves and client

Honor what arises

Move Towards Ease - Non-Force

Non-agenda

Being-not doing

Self-recognition leads to self-correction

Working with the body, not on the body

An Ortho-Bionomy® practitioner encouraged Mr. Knopp to get a session to really experience this gentle bodywork.  Mr. Knopp explained , "The first session I received was very pleasant, but I walked out of the practitioner's office feeling like she hadn't really "done" anything.  Three hours later, the bones in my neck and skull began to move in ways I initially found frightening, but which relieved the chronic tension in my jaw and over my eyes.  This after-effect continued for the next two days, each day bringing greater relief than the last."

Quote from Brad Knopp who edited Arthur Lincoln Pauls, D.O. book “The Philosophy & History of Ortho-Bionomy”, “The Evolvement of the Original Concept.”
