Learn Ortho-Bionomy®
with Melissa Malm and Jim Berns
Exploration of Movement: Utilizing Hands-On Movement as an Evaluation and Release Technique
Nov 15-16
Chico, CA
9am-6pm
Class Description
In this class we use hands-on movements to assess, to release, and to integrate areas of pain or tension in the client’s body. Using Ortho-Bionomy principles and the body’s innate wisdom, you will fine tune your ability to sense patterns in the movement of the tissue and the responses of the neuromuscular proprioceptive reflexes. These hands-on movements fold in seamlessly with any kind of bodywork you are already doing, and are fun to do!
These techniques are so important that Jim and Melissa use them in every single session.
This class is NCBTMB approved.
This class is a requirement for the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International® Practitioner training program.
Course Fee
$295 by Oct 31, $345 after Oct 31
