Ortho-Bionomy was developed in 1976 by Arthur Lincoln Pauls, a Canadian osteopath and martial arts instructor. Recently, it has begun to come into its own as a gentle form of bodywork and a unique system of natural healing. It is based on handling the body’s tension completely without force.

Its benefits are achieved through the monitoring of the body’s own self-corrective reflexes by the practitioner. Ultimately, old memory patterns in the body receive new information and are replaced by healthy patterns.
