Physio-Synthesis®

Physio-Synthesis is a unique form of corrective exercise and somatic education and is an important essential foundation for all movement practices to realize their full promise.  Physio-synthesis founder Dr. Amy Cochran, a Physician who trained both as an Osteopath and an Allopathic Medical Doctor, had a profound understanding and ability with then human body’s problems and potentials.

Dr. Cochran was one of the original teachers of Dr. Ida P. Rolf the founder of Structural Integration ‘Rolfing’.  Dr Cochran was a student of the Founder of Osteopathy Dr. Andrew Taylor Still DO and the Founder of Craniosacral therapy Dr. John Sutherland DO.

Physio-Synthesis is referred to as the ‘other side’ of Osteopathy and the most sophisticated, original ‘Core’ Structural Balance Training. This timeless art of the body lengthens (animates) the deep, inner layered muscles, which are often weak in relation to the outer muscles.

A specific series of ‘Formulated Movements’ reconstruct the alignment of body structure and systematically and progressively train the Inner Core muscles and ligaments. This harmonizes the Inner Muscles supportive actions, tone and optimal response with the Outer Muscles. The results are a fully integrated body with facility to enjoy effortless, efficient movement and posture.
