Ortho-Bionomy Therapy
Ortho-Bionomy Therapy utilises gentle positioning and movement techniques to stimulate the body's self-correcting mechanisms. This system addresses musculoskeletal imbalances, chronic pain conditions, and nervous system dysregulation through non-invasive methods developed by Dr Arthur Pauls. Clients benefit from improved structural alignment, reduced pain levels, and enhanced functional capacity through sessions that work with the body's natural healing responses.
Shoulder Injury Treatment
Specialised treatment for shoulder conditions including rotator cuff injuries, frozen shoulder, and impingement syndrome. Techniques focus on releasing muscular tension, improving joint mobility, and addressing postural imbalances contributing to shoulder dysfunction. Clients report significant pain reduction and restored range of motion following targeted interventions that address both symptoms and underlying structural causes.
Pregnancy Support
Gentle bodywork tailored to the changing needs of pregnant clients. Addresses common discomforts through positional support, pelvic alignment, and nervous system regulation. Helps maintain mobility and comfort throughout pregnancy while preparing the body for optimal birth positioning. Sessions incorporate techniques that promote relaxation and structural adaptation to the physical demands of pregnancy.
Pain Management
Non-pharmacological approach to managing persistent pain conditions including neck/back pain, migraines, and arthritis. Utilises nervous system engagement to reduce pain signals and improve functional capacity. Clients develop self-care strategies to maintain pain relief between sessions through movement re-education and postural awareness techniques that address the root causes of chronic discomfort.
Postural Re-education
Techniques to correct long-standing postural imbalances and movement patterns contributing to pain and dysfunction. Combines joint mobilisation, muscular release, and neuromuscular retraining to establish more efficient body mechanics. Clients develop greater body awareness and functional movement patterns that reduce strain and prevent future injuries through targeted therapeutic interventions.

I found orthobionomy such a refreshingly gentle and caring way to address my posture and pain issue in my hip. Its exactly the opposite of the no pain no gain philosophy often espoused by other styles of treatment. Fiona is extremely knowledgeable and experienced. If you have aches, pains or just need a way to de-stress and revive your energy, book a treatment with Fiona.

I'm very happy to have found a good practitioner in Fiona. The exercises
