This is the first book on Ortho-Bionomy, a bodywork technique which is quickly gaining popularity among laypeople and therapists from all bodywork disciplines. Kathy Kain gives clear descriptions of the philosophy and concepts of Ortho-Bionomy. The illustrations and easy to understand technical instructions show the standard releases taught in Ortho-Bionomy classes. The student is guided from the beginning of a session to the end in learning this gentle, effective approach to somatic re-education. Ortho-Bionomy’s primary benefit lies in helping people to break the cycle of pain by learning how to correct structural and somatic dysfunction and to release stress. This noninvasive, quick acting approach is an effective preparation for mobilization, movement and therapeutic exercise.
Kathy has been teaching and practicing Ortho-Bionomy since 1980. She has trained extensively with, and co-taught classes and Instructor Training Seminars with, Arthur Lincoln Pauls, the founder of Ortho-Bionomy. She was President of the Society of Ortho-Bionomy International for six years,when she oversaw the creation of the Practitioner Training Program curriculum, and is both an Advanced Instructor and Advanced Instructor Trainer of Ortho-Bionomy. More recently the focus of Kathy’s work has moved toward the fields of somatics and trauma recovery. She teaches regularly in Australia, Europe, Canada, and the U.S. and maintains a private practice in Berkeley, California, where she lives.

Jim is a Registered Advanced Instructor of Ortho-Bionomy and has been trained directly by the founder, English Osteopath Arthur Lincoln Pauls, D.O. He has been a Registered Instructor since 1980, and has taught Ortho-Bionomy internationally. He resides and has a private practice in Northern California.
