The Dorn Method - A Different Approach to Back Pain Therapy
Success doesn't have to be complicated! Dorn is gentle, safe, and what I can only
personally describe from my own experiences as a very effective therapy - and one that
is also thankfully quite easy to learn! Dorn now boasts more than 40 years of history and
is growing in popularity throughout the world.
I'll say straight away that the Dorn Method does not go into the same depth of detail that say Osteopathy does, but this does not mean Dorn is not as effective
for helping with many common back and join pain health problems, and indeed the vast majority of my clients are extremely happy with results.
The Dorn Method instead is simply a set of non-manipulative special techniques which provide a
gentle and safe way to correct common misalignments of the Spinal
Column and other joints, and in so doing helping to relieve common back and joint pain along with
associated problems areas such as neck pain, headaches, hip, sciatica, jaw, knee,
shoulder and other common problem areas. It is also a self help therapy,
free of unpleasant side effects, completely safe with no medication being required.
People who come for Dorn therapy are shown very simple tips and techniques to take
away with them so they can help themselves to stay pain free.
Nothing makes me happier than to see people go away after a Dorn session feeling
so much better than when they arrived! I've simply found the Dorn Method to be an
extremely effective technique, finding that many people report immediate, positive
results and require only a few sessions. In my position I also get to hear many
success stories from Complementary Therapists who've learned this amazing skill,
backing my own findings with their own reports which document excellent client feedback.
In Germany the Dorn Method is growing from strength to strength. This photo was taken

What is the DORN METHOD?
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.
A range of simple after care exercises are also provided for clients to take away
and practise in order to help them benefit over the long term. For example, clients
are shown simple, easy to learn short exercises to perform each day to help keep
the hip and the lower back in place.

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.
For example, simple suggestions include not sitting crossed legged or not slouching
whilst seated in front of the computer at work; these are typical bad habits we
fall into, and which over time can lead to health problems.
Dorn also teaches a set of simple, easy to learn self-help exercises which are designed
to be taken away and practised at home to maintain balance in the body and good
health over the long term. A few minutes spent each day for example on a simple
leg length correction excercise, can help to keep the hip joint in place, and the
spine sitting straight.
Testimonial...
“The Dorn workshop gave me a new way of looking and treating the Pelvis and spine
which was a surprise after 14 years in practice as an Osteopath. Brigitte's teaching
is clear and patient and Dorn is easy to learn and remarkably simple and effective.
My patients are already enjoying the benefits of Dorn Method.Thanks again Brigitte”
