Massage & Ortho-Bionomy
August 27th, 2008Hello Everyone,
Today I am starting my firts blog post for the Phase-Eigth/Ortho-Bionomy blog….
I just finished teaching an Ortho-Bionomy, Phase IV: Spine class in Louisville, Kentucky this past weekend. It was a great time and always fascinating as how each student receives the information passed along throughout the weekend.
The class was made up of only massage therapists so there were lots of questions as to how Ortho-Bionomy was directly going to apply to their massage practice. There were also many specific questions regarding individual massage clients and what how to deal with acute and chronic issues each massage therapist would come across.
I got a question this weekend and one of the massage therapists asked me if, “I didn’t like massage?”
My response was that, “personally massage is not for me.” Massage is actually irritating to my nervous system. After experiencing Ortho-Bionomy which only addresses the body in a position of comfort to have someone “rub” a sore spot is too much for my nervous system to take.
However, I do believe that massage can be very helpful to many people.
Later in the class, this became evident to the student when we released the psoas muscles. She said it normally would take 15 minutes to 1/2hour to release a tight psoas using massage. Using Ortho-Bionomy we were able to release the psoas in only a couple of minutes not to mention there was no struggling or pain involved for both the student doing the work and the student on the table.
Overall, the weekend was great and I was happy to see the “lightbulbs” going off with each student seeing how they were able to “work smarter, not harder” when working on their clients.
