2010 Ortho-Bionomy Classes
with Cassie Caroline Williams, Ph.D.

Ortho-Bionomy® is an osteopathically-based modality of body work, using very gentle and non-invasive techniques to allow one’s body to self-correct. The body is placed in a comfortable position to spontaneously release tension. The practitioner acts as a facilitator. These techniques complement other approaches and are well accepted by the body.

Cassie Caroline Willliams, Ph.D., graduated from the University of Manitoba in Zoology/Ecology in 1984, has published over 30 scientific papers, and is an Advanced Practitioner and Advanced Instructor of Ortho-Bionomy. She studied with the founder of Ortho-Bionomy, Dr. Arthur Lincoln Pauls, D.O., and has been in practice for 22 years and instructing for 15 years.

May 29-30: Visceral Class in Kamloops
This manual work focuses on gentle palpation to connect with and address tensions between the abdominal organs and the body’s structure. By addressing the connective tissue attachment, possibly using sound as a vibrational assistance, congestion in organs can dissipate and allows everything to move fluidly.

June 19-20: Chapman’s Neurolymphatic Reflexes in Kamloops
The importance of using Chapman’s Reflexes for organ balancing and lymphatic drainage, as well as their application and influence on the endocrine system and emotional balancing area covered in this class. Identification of reflex points and techniques to stimulate them will be presented. This information is appropriate for experienced massage therapists and body workers, health care practitioners, and those with little or no background in health care. You will learn how to relate to the neurolymphatic system in an Ortho-Bionomic way.

July 8-11: Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy and physiology, as they apply to Ortho-Bionomy, will be covered here, with some hands-on palpation of different structures. The class will present all the body systems, to enhance the understanding of using basic positional release techniques. Even the aspects of electromagnetic fields will be discussed, from the point of view of a physicist. For those people taking the class for the senior practitioner level, a topic of personal interest will be chosen on which to do some research and a mini-presentation to the class, so that all will benefit.

August 21-22: Phase 4 Extremities in Kamloops
This is a foundation class that introduces the student to the principles of Ortho-Bionomy, with its roots in Osteopathy, and gives an overview of comfortable, positional release techniques for each major joint in the shoulders, arms, hands, hips, legs and feet. It involves proprioceptive nerves and self-corrective reflexes of the body, changing discomfort, so that the body may do its own internal balancing by stimulating natural, self-corrective and neuromuscular reflexes. Pain and tension patterns dissipate, producing an increased range of motion, better circulation and an increased sense of well-being. The work is easy to learn, easy on the practitioner’s body, is very effective and blends well with other modalities.

September 25-26: Post and Posture Techniques in Kamloops
Participants in this class re-evaluate their own postural habits and observe those of others. Methods to work with scoliosis are presented. Postural techniques are used to integrate work done in a session. Awareness of individual movement patterns helps the participants learn new balance approaches and gives them the opportunities to learn exercise techniques and movements to provide and suggest for their clients.

October 23-24: Phase 4 Spine, Pelvis and Ribcage in Kamloops
A basic foundation class that provides the release techniques for each major joint in the spine, pelvis and ribcage.

November 6-7: Shock and Trauma Almost everyone has experienced some shock or trauma in their lives; our bodies adapt to minimize the effects of trauma, but to the detriment of the quality of our lives. In this class we will learn to differentiate trauma injuries from tension-related ones. Some techniques are inappropriate for trauma injures, so we will explore specific techniques to assist clients to release them. Being freed of the shackles of trauma helps us to move more easily, have greater range of motion and less pain, and not be governed by old fears, such as near drownings, near-death experiences and the like.

These clases provide CE/PD credits with CMTBC, AMTWP and MTAA.

"If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation, or love and trust." -Quote from Suzanne Arms
