Treatment description and therapist thoughts

​

When I first experienced this therapy, I was not sure it was working and it felt a bit funny, however afterwards I felt like I’d been hit by a bus. The following day I noticed I was standing taller; my back was pain free and feeling so much better. I am converted to this therapy and would highly recommend it to anyone.

​

 A high percentage of people who suffer from back pain show a leg length difference often due to poor leg seating in the hip joint. An imbalance of the hip caused by for example, a difference in leg length, can force the spine to sit twisted on an uneven foundation, in this situation forces acting on the body through normal daily routine (e.g., carrying shopping bags) can pull vertebrae more easily out of place, and add extra strain on the body’s muscles and joints. This can leas not only to back pain, but other problems such as headaches, neck, and shoulder pain. Dorn therefore focuses on restoring balance to the body to help avoid many common health problems.

​

Your therapist will start by doing a leg length comparison check, this is done laying down, followed by some gentle and safe manual realignment of the hips, work is then carried out in a standing position on the Pelvis and Lumbar areas. You are then asked to sit whilst checking and alignment is carried out on the Thoracic and Cervical spine. You are then asked to lie down whilst the nourishing Breuss massage is done on the spine. This massage is short and concentrates on drawing oxygen rich blood to the spine to help with healing and rebalancing.
