Ortho-Bionomy Healing Hub with Rob Rich | CanSurvive

Presented: Wednesday 14 October 2026
Speaker: Rob Rich
Series: CanSurvive Australia Healing Hub

Overview

Ortho-Bionomy is a gentle, non-forceful bodywork modality that developed from osteopathic principles and focuses on working with the body’s natural ability to find comfort, balance and ease of movement.

In this Healing Hub presentation, Sunshine Coast practitioner and instructor Rob Rich provides an introduction to Ortho-Bionomy, explaining the philosophy behind the approach and demonstrating how practitioners work with positioning, movement and awareness rather than forceful manipulation.

Through practical demonstrations and discussion, Rob explores how Ortho-Bionomy practitioners assess the body as an interconnected system, recognising that discomfort experienced in one area may be influenced by broader postural and movement patterns elsewhere in the body.

This presentation offers an opportunity to gain a clearer understanding of Ortho-Bionomy, observe techniques in practice and learn how this complementary modality is applied within a holistic approach to wellbeing.
