Ortho-Bionomy, Ilse Pickerd

Therapeutic bodywork for postural re-education, release of pain and tension, and relaxation. Alice Springs, NT
Registered member of Ortho-Bionomy Australia Ltd.

Ortho-Bionomy techniques are gentle and effective, with long-lasting changes in the body. Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, therapeutic bodywork that promotes structural balance and ease. Pain and stress patterns are addressed by supporting the self-correcting capacity of a person through the use of gentle movement and positioning of the body, as well as light compression into the joints. Developed by British osteopath, Dr Arthur Lincoln Pauls, Ortho-Bionomy stimulates long-lasting changes by re-educating the client’s body so that it can effectively maintain balance and optimal function on its own. Treatment can assist with a range of experiences, including:
- pain relief
- emotional well-being and relaxation
- reduction of stress, anxiety and tension
- improved structural realignment and balance
- increased range of movement
- increased self awareness
- faster recovery time from injury
- insomnia
- increased vitality and emotional balance

Treatment sessions are available by appointment. Please contact 0429944455 for bookings and more information. The client remains fully clothed for a session, so wearing comfortable clothing is recommended. Member of Ortho-Bionomy Australia Ltd

The pelvis is a structural foundation; if we can realign the pelvis we can often resolve distal pain, such as in the knees or feet, neck, shoulders, or jaw.

A Happy New Year to all, I am again Ortho-bionomy treatments from Complete Balance in Alice Springs on Mondays.

Please PM for bookings.

Overjoyed and grateful to have been awarded the 2024 Eileen Jeboult Scholarship from Ortho-Bionomy Australia to attend the first Australian Ortho-Bionomy Residential since Covid times, held in Belair!

The Residential is a key professional growth opportunity for Ortho-Bionomists; a week long study intensive where practitioners and instructors of Ortho-Bionomy come together to share and hone techniques, strengthen networks, and dive deep into anatomy and our modality’s principles.

A big thank you to Ortho-Bionomy Australia, Bruce Stark, Andrew Malone, the Nunyara Conference Centre for having us, and Eileen - may she smile from her resting place.

Biggest thanks goes to my family for your complete support enabling this to happen

A big thank you to Karen Sonter Fraser Coast Ortho-Bionomy for travelling to Mparntwe to deliver Ortho-bionomy training in Self Care techniques. We are lucky to have access to training right here in the desert. And self care training is always a wonderful reminder that there is so much we can do by ourselves, for ourselves, to promote change.

Self care practices can be provided after an Ortho-bionomy session to integrate change, and to continue the body’s healing process towards its optimum state of balance and health.

Keep your eyes on Alice Springs Ortho-Bionomy for upcoming training in March next year. Many thanks Jo for coordinating!
