What is the Dorn Method?

Dorn consists of a range of simple techniques & exercises which aim to help joints and vertebrae slip back into their natural positions. In addition, a very gentle spinal back massage is given to safely stretch, align, energize and relax the spine.

A range of simple after care exercises will also be provided for you to take away and practice in order to help you benefit in the long term. For example, you will be shown a simple but effective short exercise to perform each day to help you keep your hip and lower back in place.

The Dorn Method offers long term benefits

The Dorn Method is a combination of three parts, which together provide an excellent maintenance and preventative joint care system designed to look after your body over the long term.

As well as the actual treatment, 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 exercise, will help to keep the hip joint in place, and the spine sitting straight.
