What is Ortho-Bionomy anyway?

Michelle Neuner, LMT, a SimplaFYI Community Practitioner, and I were talking recently and she shared her latest certification – Ortho-Bionomy.  The name immediately made me think of something painful, I’m not sure why, but it  did.  She explained that ortho-bionomy works “with” the body and is different than massage.  I still didn’t understand how it worked so I visited Michelle at her practice and had a session.  It felt like a gentle but deliberate mix of pressure and pulling, reminding me of a cross between massage and chiropractic rolled into one.  The outcome soothed my cranky lower back and relaxed my body and mind.  Learn more about Ortho-Bionomy here.
