Gentle Bodywork for Chronic Pain & Sensitive Nervous Systems
The Ortho-Bionomy® Approach at MindBodyArizona
If traditional massage, physical therapy, or forceful techniques haven’t helped — or have made things worse — a gentler approach may be more effective.
At MindBodyArizona – Colene Doucette, this work is offered in a private, appointment-only setting in Scottsdale, AZ and Omaha, NE. Sessions are designed to support pain relief, mobility, and nervous system balance by working with the body’s natural patterns rather than pushing through resistance.
This approach is known as Ortho-Bionomy®.

Acute & chronic pain
Back, neck, hip & knee pain
Muscle tension
Headaches / Migraines
Limited range of motion
Sprains & strains
Frozen shoulder

What is Ortho-Bionomy®?
Ortho-Bionomy® is a gentle, non-invasive form of therapeutic bodywork that uses subtle positioning, movement, and light touch to help the body release tension and restore balance.
How This Approach is Different From Massage or Physical Therapy
This work does not rely on deep pressure, aggressive stretching, or pushing through pain. It respects the body’s protective reflexes and works at the pace of the nervous system.
Who This Work is Especially Helpful For
This approach is often chosen by people living with chronic pain, joint discomfort, arthritis, or those who feel worse after deep tissue or forceful bodywork.
What a Session Feels Like
Sessions are provided by Colene Doucette, B.S., NCBTMB, who has over 20 years of experience working with individuals seeking relief when other approaches have not worked. Her work integrates Ortho-Bionomy® with complementary therapeutic techniques, always guided by attentiveness, clarity and respect for the individual. Colene identifies areas of tension and guides the body into positions of comfort, allowing the nervous system to reset and promote healing.
What are the Benefits of This Approach?
Clients often notice reduced pain, increased flexibility and range of motion, reduced muscle tension, and improved relaxation and emotional healing.
