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.
