The Dorn Method

Also known as Dorn Spinal therapy or Dorn Therapy

"A Wholistic Manual Therapy for Spine and Joints of the body" 

 
Dorn Spinal Therapy is a low force, non manipulative spinal and joint therapy suitable for patients that need correction of their spine and other structures of their body. The therapy originated in Germany over thirty years ago and was developed by the late Dieter Dorn , it is now practiced by  over 1000 practitioners world wide. DORN therapy involves gentle re- alignment techniques which work on balancing the leg length, spine and all of  the joints of the body .Dorn spinal therapy can work in conjunction with other therapy’s including Chiropractic, Naturopathy and Acupuncture or on its own as an alternative to these therapies

One of the main advantages and points of difference to other manipulative therapies is that it involves no high velocity thrusting or cracking. The technique instead uses a combination of pressure / mobilisation to facilitate the body to realign itself in a gentler fashion.

Another advantage is that the patient is not completely passive during the treatment. It requires and encourages the patient to get involved in their treatment. The patient can then as a result mimic the re-alignments as part of their own home maintenance regime.
