How is Massage different from Bodywork-Ortho-Bionomy?

Learn Massage in hawaii at http://www.alohamassageschool.com in Maui, Hawaii How is Ortho-Bionomy different from massage?

During massage you are undressed and draped with a sheet. Oil is
used on the skin as gliding, friction, and kneading strokes are applied
to relieve muscle tension.
During Ortho-Bionomy you remain fully clothed. No oil is used.
Instead of massage strokes, movement and positioning are applied to
release tension and restore balance. Although very gentle and often
subtle, Ortho-Bionomy is very deep in it's effect. Most find it's
changes last longer.


How does Ortho-Bionomy Work?
The way Ortho-Bionomy works is rather simple. The practitioner gently moves and holds the joint, or effected area, in the same direction as the muscles are already pulling. As a result, the muscle(s) naturally begin to relax.




The body understands it is no longer necessary to hold that stressed position. In most cases this treatment provides relief immediately allowing the body to self align taking advantage of our inherent natural healing process. This re-educating (somatic education) brings the body back into a naturally harmonious state.
