The Dorn Method

“An Integrative Manual Therapy for Spine and Joints of the body”

The Dorn Method is a low force, non-manipulative spinal and joint therapy suitable for patients that need gentle balancing of their spine and soft tissue structures of their body.

The therapy originated in Germany over thirty years ago and was developed by Dieter Dorn. It is now practiced by over 1000 practitioners world-wide.

Dorn Therapy involves gentle re-balancing techniques which work on re-aligning the leg length, sacrum, spine and peripheral joints of the body. Dorn Therapy can work in conjunction with other therapies including Massage Therapy, Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Naturopathy and Acupuncture or as its own as a stand-alone therapy.

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

In this workshop you will learn:

• About the history and theory behind the Dorn Method (DM)

• About benefits and limitations of the DM

• Understand the biomechanics and mechanisms of the DM

• The anatomical landmarks for the therapy

• How to facilitate structural re-alignment with gentle movement and pressure with no High Velocity Amplitude Thrusting (HVLA)

• How it works in comparison to other therapies

• To balance leg length, hips, pelvis, sacrum and L5 up to the cervical vertebras

• How to manage neck, lower back pain and scoliosis using Dorn Techniques

This is a hands on workshop designed to enhance structural re-alignment skills of the manual therapist or to enable non-manual therapists to learn a form of manual therapy to add to their existing skillset. A step by step hands on approach is utilised to balance the bodies muscular-skeletal system.
