Dorn Method Therapy

The Dorn Method, was developed in Germany nearly 40 years ago by Dieter Dorn. It is a gentle and safe procedure applied by a qualified practitioner to correct misalignments of the Spinal Column and other joints in the human body, and is especially effective in treating some of the following:

• Back, Shoulder, Neck pain and tension
• Headaches & Migraine
• Joint problems including: Hip, Knee, Elbow, Ankle, Jaw
• Leg length difference
• Sciatica

The Dorn Method is a self-help therapy, absolutely free of unpleasant side effects, completely safe with no medication required and involves no ‘clicking’ or ‘crunching’ sensations which some people fear or dislike . People who experience the Dorn Therapy are shown very simple tips and techniques to take away with them to enable them to help themselves to stay pain free.

Dorn consists of a range of simple exercises and techniques which aim to help joints and vertebrae slip back into their natural positions using a unique approach which involves the active participation of the client.

After treatment by your Dorn Method practitioner, a range of simple after care exercises are provided for you to take away and practise in order to help you benefit over the long term.

• It is a non-manipulative therapy which focuses on helping joints and vertebrae slip back into their natural position through self-determined movements by the client
• It has its origins in Germany where it is now one of the most widely used therapies for back pain used by Therapists, Doctors and other healthcare professionals
• It is a holistic treatment which means other areas may also benefit as a consequence of working on the meridian and nerve system of the body
• It is free of unpleasant side effects, completely safe and a relaxing treatment. No medication is required
• It is a very safe treatment, without a single report of client injury in its long history
• All corrections happen in a dynamic way, that is, with the client aiding therapy by actively participating with the therapist

This picture explains the spinal pathway and the organs they supply. Nerves run from the spinal cord through openings between the vertebrae. They transmit stimuli from the brain and central nervous system to and from all areas of the body such as muscles, skin, joints and internal organs. Vertebral problems can impair nerve function, affecting any area of the body.

The Dorn Method offers long-term benefits

The Dorn Method is a combination of three parts, which together provide an overall maintenance and preventative joint care system designed to look after the body over the long term. As well as the actual therapy, which focuses on looking for and correcting imbalances within the body, Dorn also promotes the use of better posture in day to day life

Dorn teaches a set of simple, easy to learn self-help exercises which are designed to be practised at home to maintain balance in the body and good health over the long term. A few minutes spent each day on a simple leg length correction exercise, can help to keep the hip joint in place, and the spine sitting straight.

The Dorn Method is not suitable for the following conditions:-

• Acute inflammation or fever
• Paralysis
• Acute migraine attacks
• Any recent accidents
• Post-surgery of discs
• Cancer
• Acute prolapsed disc(s)
• Ongoing cortisone medication due to possible brittle bones
• Immobility

Does The Dorn Method use medication or surgery?

No. Using the Dorn Method only gentle manual adjustments are done with the hands and without any tools or medication or surgery.

How many sessions are necessary to correct misaligned joints and spinal problems?

There is no set number of treatments and in many cases one treatment can already help. In a few cases up to three treatments are recommended and in long existing conditions several month of therapy might be necessary.

Self-help Exercise

After treatment, Simone then teaches self-help exercises so the patient is able to carry on where the therapist left off, leading to much longer term benefits.
