What
is the Dorn Method?
Dorn is a gentle, safe and very effective treatment
designed to help alleviate the cause of Back and Joint
Pain in people of all ages. It is used to correct
misalignments of the spine and other joints, treating
many common health problems including:
•
Back
pain
• Neck
pain
• Headaches
& Migraines
• Joint
problems such as Hip, Knee, Shoulder, Elbow, Ankle, Jaw
• Leg
length difference
• Sciatica
Dorn method consists of a range of well proven exercises and techniques
which help joints and vertebrae slip back into position without ‘clicking’
or ‘crunching’.
Achieving balance in the body
Dorn theory states that imbalance within the body is the cause of numerous
health problems. For example, the spinal column is made up of many vertebrae
cushioned against each other by soft discs. These vertebrae not only support
our upper body, but are also responsible for their own particular functions
and may cause health problems if out of place.
An imbalance of the hip caused for example by a difference in leg length,
can force the spine to twist on an uneven foundation. In this situation
forces acting on the body through normal daily routine (such as lifting
heavy shopping bags) can pull vertebrae more easily out of place, and add
extra strain on the body’s muscles and joints. This can lead not only
to back pain, but also problems elsewhere such as headaches, neck and shoulder
pain, and even psychological problems such as eating disorders, etc. Dorn
therefore focuses on restoring the balance of the body.
Dorn 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 of slouching whilst seated in front of the computer at work;
these are typical habits we can fall into, 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 will on a simple leg length correction exercise, will help
to keep the joints in place, and the spine sitting straight.
