This is a wonderful new bodywork modality I have learnt and used on quite a number of you with some very good results. Like all things there are horses for courses.  It is very gentle but effective. Orthobionomy was developed by osteopaths born in the 1910s and 1920s. It incorporates osteopathic, martial arts and homeopathic principles. 

How I describe the process is, imagine a sore muscle is like a knotted shoelace. If you pull the knot it tightens up more, if you push the ends together they will unknot. Basically I move the client into the least painful/least restricted position and push the joints together. This then releases the holding patterns. Unlike other forms of massage you need to wait 2 days for the full effects to be felt. And I suggest 3 treatments 1 week apart for the best effects. For many of the movements you will fall asleep, we all did and this is where the healing starts! 

If you have not had a massage for a while this treatment may just be what is needed to unlock that stiff neck, shoulder back or foot.
