During the 1970s, Pauls developed what he called Phased Reflex Techniques (PRT) -- the first stage in the development of Ortho-Bionomy. "Through the Phased Reflex Techniques, we bring about an understanding to the body via the reflexes and so increase the body's awareness.

In so doing, the body functions better at all levels."2 Pauls believed there is an innate tendency in all things to move toward its own perfection, and that this self-corrective reflex only needs an occasional nudge, or reminder, to "kick in." The Ortho-Bionomist provides stimulation to activate the self-healing response and then supports the individual in such a way as to not interfere. The term Ortho-Bionomy translates loosely as the correct application of the natural laws of life.

Pauls felt strongly that the role of the practitioner should be indirect, listening and responding to ongoing patterns, rather than using manipulation to impose change. "We only show reminders of what is, the rest is spontaneous," Pauls said. "Would you show water how to run down a hill? It knows how, it only has to be set free.

The body of man is the same, it knows, so who are we in our practiced intellect to teach it? It is better it teaches us and we observe the events that follow on."3 Pauls' background as a black belt martial artist and judo instructor had trained him to work with the energy of another, rather than conflicting with it.
