Back aches, neck restrictions, painful hips, shoulders, knees and joints, headaches, injuries - our bodies certainly are prone to many aches and pains.
Palmerston North practitioner Katrin Stroppel-Jones practises a form of bodywork called ortho-bionomy that can bring relief to such conditions in a gentle, safe, non-manipulative way.
Stroppel-Jones has invited New Zealand's advanced ortho-bionomy instructor Colin Gibbs to Palmerston North for a two-hour hands-on taster workshop on Saturday, February 13.
Gibbs was a Professor of Education at Massey University and now practises ortho-bionomy in Hamilton.
He says he is interested in working with the whole person, not just the mind, the physical body or emotions.
"When I discovered ortho-bionomy, I found real confirmation that the holistic is so vitally important, especially in healing aches and pains, working with structural misalignment, the body organs, trauma, and so on."
