Elizabeth Mixon, LMT specializes in ortho-bionomy, an osteopath based massage therapy that works with structure, lymph, fluids, neurology, organs and the endocrine system. She came to this work through her personal injury involving a ruptured disc, which caused severe nerve pain. After searching a number of modalities for over two years, relief was found through Ortho-Bionomy, returning her to a pain free life. It was life changing for her, and she added Ortho-Bionomy certification to the list of modalities she offered including Cranial Sacral Therapy and BioMat™ Therapy. She has been in practice since 1998.
Ortho-Bionomy addresses a variety of painful issues including back pain, knee and hip pain, shoulder pain, lymphatic issues, herniated disks and much more.
When asked if Ortho-Bionomy® and Cranial Sacral Therapy will help patients resolve pain and other issues, Elizabeth explains, “Because this work addresses the self corrective mechanisms inherent in every body, it holds the possibility to correct any structural alignment issue. What determines success is contingent on many factors, but I will say that people who do exceptionally well with this therapy often have a trauma-related incident/accident, and don’t tolerate or do well with more direct therapies- such as deep tissue massage or a chiropractic adjustment that won’t hold. The respectful and gentle way this work addresses pain and injury through the nervous system allows the body to heal in a quick and calming fashion.”
The treatments offered by Elizabeth have been helpful to patients suffering from neck and shoulder pain, foot pain, fibromyalgia, headaches and migraines as well as dental pain and pregnancy issues. It is also beneficial for patients recovering from sports, auto and work related injuries. “I have been doing this work for over 22 years and am quite skilled at recognizing imbalances in the body,” Elizabeth explains. “Ortho-Bionomy is rooted in Osteopathy, where the focus is on the bones first and the connective tissues second. This makes it different from massage which only considers the soft tissue, and chiropractic which only considers the bones. The Ortho-Bionomy practitioner considers all systems: the bones, the soft tissue, the lymphatic movement, blood movement, and nervous system.”
