The Dorn Method A Wholistic Manual Therapy and True Self Help Method.
A Non-Manipulative, safe and effective way to rebalance misalignments and functional problems in the spine and other joints that can help in the treatment of: Back Pain, Scoliosis, Migraine, Leg-Length Discrepancy, Joint Pain, Chronic Inner Conditions, Energy Blockages, Emotional Conflicts…..
The Dorn Method should not be seen as the cure for all or magic bullet manual therapy but as valuable complement and possible base therapy to any other therapeutic approach especially Physical Therapy, Massage, Chiropractic, Osteopathy and other body therapies….
Developed some 30 years ago in Germany by Dieter Dorn it is now fast becoming a popular therapy for Back Pain and practiced in more than 20 countries around the world.
A complete Healing Method because it incorporates 3 important factors:
· Avoidance
· Therapy (Dorn Spinal and Joint Therapy)
· Self Help
A Dorn Method Practitioner is more than just a Therapist he / she is a Health Consultant who guides Patients towards a Solution for their Back Pain by:
> Investigating / Explaining the Causes of the Problem
> Applying a safe Therapy with (not just on) the Patient
> Teaching Self Help - Self Therapy Exercises and Life-Style changes for long lasting Results
How can the Dorn Method help?
By applying principals of Anatomy, Physics and Nature Laws the Structural System is effectively re-aligned thus improving the nervous system that connects the Brain with all other areas of the human body.
In an intensive Therapy-Session the Patients Spine (and if necessary other Joints) is rebalanced using gentle counter-pressure and dynamic (movements) at the same time
When the treatment becomes uncomfortable the procedure is stopped immediately therefore no harm can be done to the Patient
When the Structural System is in a better Alignment the functional unit of Bones-Muscles-Ligaments and Tissues can become more relaxed and will usually ease the pressure onto the nerves which often is the cause of Pain and other problems.
By avoiding wrong movements and habits that contribute towards structural misalignments together with Self Help Exercises that simulate the Actions done during the Therapy over an extended period of Recovery Time (usually 2 Month) the Patients are likely to improve fast after the Therapy and only very few Sessions might be necessary.
In a few cases a longer treatment period is advised and can be tailored to the convenience of the Patient that includes a more intensive and individual teaching of Self Therapy with the Help of a Partner or Family Member.
Remember: Healing takes place within us and with a little discipline, understanding and time small miracles can happen.

What do other Health Professionals say about the Dorn Method:
As an osteopath who already treated spinal misalignments, The Dorn Method had a huge impact on my practice, because it gave me the tools to address spinal misalignments in a gentle non-invasive way.
Wayne Sibson – Osteopath, WA
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
I had been having on-and-off back pains for several years until I came across the Dorn Method. I immediately noticed a significant improvement after just one session. I am convinced that the Dorn Method is a safe and effective means of treating various muscular-skeletal disorders.
Angel M. Gomez, MD
.................................................................................................................................................................................................
As a Integrative Healthcare Practitioner and Naturopath I see many health problems and back pain is one that I see most frequently. So frequently I decided to study Chiropractic. However when I discovered the Dorn Method two things happened, I found a safe, effective non-manipulative therapy for back pain and I discontinued my Chiropractic Studies. The Dorn method is a compensive system that treats patients on all levels.

Patients opinions:
I’ve been suffering from leg & hip pain and I was diagnosed with slipped disc. Finally, my doctor told me to undergo an operation instead I looked for other alternative therapies. All in all, I just had 4 sessions with the Dorn Method and the pains were gone. Now, I can walk straight without experiencing pain. However, I continue to do the exercises suggested by my Therapist. I highly recommend the Dorn method for the treatment of slipped disc and other spine related pains.
