This gentle non manipulative therapy successfully helps you with back pain and head aches. Dorn Therapy was established in the 1980s by Dieter Dorn in Germany. It has in the meantime advanced to one of the leading back & neck pain relief therapies in Europe.
The key to Dorn Therapy is movement. Through gentle muscular movements the spine is more open to change and the nervous system is kept busy. The therapy is not preoccupied with holding the spine in position, this makes it easier for the vertebrae to slip back into their proper position. There is no bending of joints or manipulation involved in this work, so generally there is very little pain experienced.
An initial visit will start with a check for the hips for twists and of a difference in the leg length.
80 % of people have a difference in length of their legs, which results in imbalance of the pelvis and the entire spine.
The causes are many and varied, starting from birth, but simply always folding your legs over will cause a sub-luxation
in the hip joints with negative effects on the posture. By gently repositioning the hip joints and balancing the hips the
first step towards relaxation on the spinal muscle system and pain relief is achieved.
