Our Weekly Featured Artist: Theresa Goge

Licensed Massage Therapist, Practitioner of Ortho-bionomy and Touch for Health

Theresa discovered her passion for the healing arts from her lifelong work with horses. Always a kinesthetic person, she observed how the animals communicated with the language of their bodies, and learned to hone her skills of observation and touch.

For more that 20 years Theresa worked as a deep tissue massage therapist, until the physical strain of the job led her to seek out other ways to, as she puts it, “talk with her hands.” For the last five years or so she has been providing ortho-bionomy services, a form of therapeutic bodywork that uses gentle and non-invasive body alignment to address physical and emotional difficulties. About a year ago, she expanded her practice to include Touch for Health, a wellness system of holistic self-care and therapeutic balancing.

“People need touch to lessen pain, to reduce tension, to increase range of motion and to realign the relationship of bones and muscles,” Theresa explains.

In her practice she builds a connection and whole-person understanding with each client, then uses gentle movement and positioning as well as light compression to support their body’s own self-correcting capacity to effectively maintain balance, optimize functioning and create an overall sense of wellbeing.

Originally from Pennsylvania Theresa moved to the area about 22 years ago. She lives and practices in Ridgway, CO.

Ortho-bionomy is a form of therapeutic bodywork, based on the principle that gentle and non-invasive body alignment has a positive influence on physical and emotional disorders.

A session with an Ortho-bionomy therapist is similar to other therapeutic massage sessions. The patient remains clothed. Emphasis is placed on comfort, and on a trusting and open relationship between patient and therapist. Open communication from the patient provides feedback and assists in the discovery and release of emotional issues. The therapist may use a range of hands-on techniques, including light touch, smooth movements, gentle pressure on reflex points, finding and working with points of tension and pain, gentle prolonged bodypositioning for release, and re-education exercises. Therapeutic movements are done slowly and gently, so that they do not create additional stresses. Some therapists may employ non-physical touch, to work upon the energy field of the body, similar to the touch used in reiki . Generally, a series of treatments is recommended, as Ortho-bionomy is based on the idea that healing occurs in gradual phases. The goal of treatment is to ultimately increase the patient's awareness on the physical and emotional levels and—through this awareness—to promote re-education and elimination of unhealthy patterns.
