Membership
| Our members are a diverse group of individuals that share a common bond – Ortho-Bionomy. Our group varies widely in age and experience. Some have just begun to train, others have thousands of hours of training and session experience. We have many professionals who have chosen to study Ortho-Bionomy and become members of the Society - Osteopaths, MD’s, Chiropractors, Nurses, Acupuncturists, Psychologists, Physical Therapists, Massage Therapists, Bodyworkers, Somatic Practitioners, Biologists, various PhDs, Masters and Bachelor Degrees, and many members who have a varied and rich life experience who prefer not to use a specific label. |
