Dorn Therapy

We are two of only four fully qualified Dorn Therapists in the UK and offer a mobile therapy service to all those suffering with bodily pain and other ailments.

Dorn Therapy was developed in the 1970’s by the German lay-healer Dieter Dorn. It is an alternative therapy used to correct misalignments in the spinal column and other joints. It is related to chiropractic and osteopathy, although different in its practical application.

The Dorn method is based on the correction of uneven leg length, which can be diagnosed in almost every human. The pelvis can become twisted, and this may result in a crooked or displaced spinal column.

We use a non-manipulative approach to correct such problems. The body’s muscles try to hold and support the joints and spine, but when these are misaligned the muscles assume this 'wrong' position is correct and hold the joints there. Dorn therapy uses motion to divert the muscles' tension, and in this relaxed state it is possible to realign the bones.

Our patients often report positive results immediately after treatment. As part of our aftercare we show patients specially designed self-help exercises that simulate the 'corrections' made during the treatment.

During a treatment, we use gentle pressure with the thumb or hand alongside the spine while the patient makes guided movements, such as swinging the arm or leg to distract the muscles.
