As the session continues memories or awareness can come up, trauma can be cleared, old patterns that serve no longer can be changed. It is not the goal to move again through the memory or story of past trauma but to resource the body so that the system uses its own inner wisdom and can move to a different relationship to the past wound. Each session is individually shaped, the art of tracking of the practitioner is essential in this modality. Besides direct physical contact, Ortho-Bionomy includes different modes of working off the body. Tairifa Suloway often suggests home exercises to further neuromuscular re-education.

This modality can treat mental stress, headaches, trauma, neck and back pain, TMJ issues, chronic pain conditions...
