Phases 1, 2 And 3

Hi I'm Tracy and my business is Ortho-Bionomy with Tracy. I am often asked in class that I teach, what is Phase 4. Because that is a foundation class. After they learn about Phase 4 and I explain about Phase 5, 6 and 7 they say well, if Phase 4 is the foundation and that kind of find a point and get the muscle to soften and release Phase 5, here's the point, see if you get the muscle to release and then it takes off on it's own energetic movement Phase 6 is more energetic movement and Phaese 7 is information Arthur Pauls, the founder received in a dream which uses symbols, What happened to Phase 1, 2 and 3? Phase 1 is the movement that you make in your unconsious For example when you are sleeping, you might be in a really contorted position you wake up, but you had the best sleep you ever had. Your body moved to that position, because it needed to be comfortable whether it good or looked proper, is not the point. The point is your body felt that was the most comfortable position to be in. That would be Phase 1. Phase 2 is something you would use, subconsciously like your body is getting stiff you're in a meeting and the chair's not very comfortable. you shift your weight to move around until you are a little more comfortable. That would be considered Phase 2. Phase 3 is the information the Arthur found while he was in chiropractice classes and it was paperwork from Lawrence Jones a U.S. osteopath He wrote a paper called Spontaneous Release through Positioning and that was actually the kick-off point for Arthur to create Ortho-Bionomy In Jones' paper, he said the body will spontaneously release if put in a position of comfort. His paper said here's the pain, we'll move it here and hold it for 90 seconds and then release it. That became strain counter-strain. Arther wasn't quite happy with that and with training in Judo, he knew there had to be something a little bit different, so he said okay here is the point and here's where it hurts, but if I add a little bit of compression to that joint, it involves the nervous system, which helps create that change faster. We can change pain patterns by affecting the nervous system and it gets to the root of the cause faster and we might have a release in 10 to 30 seconds, versus Jones who took 90 seconds. the here's the point, holding the position That's what we consider Phase 4 work. That's the difference between Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 and why they aren't really taught in Ortho-Bionomy but they a part of your life and things you do naturally, just as Ortho-Bionomy teaches this is an innate ability for your body to self correct.
