Thanks to all of you who made this such a rich weekend. We are a small group in New Norfolk, Tassie but it was a pleasure to spend time with you exploring how Ortho-Bionomy can be employed to work with movement and functional patterns.

I’m excited to be going down to Tassie to teach Exploration of Movement in September. Great opportunity to come do a class and spend some extra time in a beautiful part of the world.

I’ve had a fabulous weekend teaching Exploration of Movement with Andrew Malone at the beautiful and historic Fullerton Community Centre in Adelaide. You were such an engaging group of students - thanks for making me feel so welcome.

Some curious research - but early days yet. It suggests that inflammation may be protective against long term/chronic pain - even if it hurts in the short term. But there are other ways of reducing inflammation after an injury - such as Ortho-Bionomy - without chemically blocking the action of neutrophils.

Researchers say more research needed into possible link between anti-inflammatory drugs and longer-term problems such as back pain

All of us have had life 'happen to us' - none of us are perfectly symmetrical or perfectly aligned. More often than not our bodies are able to accommodate so-called misalignment without much of an issue.

Posture and alignment are dynamic states. We don't find the ideal alignment and stay there - we wouldn't be able to move or function with any grace.

What's more important is our tissues being able to respond flexibly to the forces that are acting upon them. In this way we have a dynamic balance that is able to adjust appropriately to the movements we are making.

Through working with the relationship between our neurology and the myofascia, Ortho-Bionomy helps us develop more cohesive and co-ordinated movement. This is essential for preventing injury, reducing pain and for rehab following surgery or injury.

Movement is medicine - but cohesive movement is a sheer delight.

Finally we can get back to face to face learning again after another year of disruption. The upcoming classes in 2022 will provide an ideal opportunity to add to your therapeutic repertoire while also giving you the chance to learn a way of working that is easier on your body and requires less physical effort. Let's face it - many of us are pretty tired after this last year or so.

They'll be taught by Hugh Churchward who works in Thirroul and Bondi Junction and has over 20 years experience working with this gentle but effective form of physical therapy. Hugh is part of the faculty providing education through Ortho-Bionomy Australia and we are glad to have him teach under the auspices of Coal Coast Ortho-Bionomy and help to build this local community of like minded practitioners.

Hugh is also available for sessions treating you for pain and injuries, assisting with post-injury and post-surgery rehab. He has a special interest and experience in treating those with trauma and PTSD. Contact him on 0430 436 605 for more information or to book a session
