The “Dorn Method” is a holistic, manual therapy that focuses on correcting misalignments in the spine and joints. The Dorn Method emphasizes gentle correction of joint and spinal misalignments. Practitioners use manual techniques to bring the joints back into their natural positions.
Key aspects of the Dorn Method include:
1. Dynamic Movement: Unlike some other manual therapies, the Dorn Method often involves dynamic movements. The client and the practitioner work together through specific movements to correct misalignments.
2. Breathing Techniques: Corrective movements are often coordinated with specific breathing techniques to enhance relaxation and facilitate the correction process.
3. Education: The Dorn Method also involves an educational component. Practitioners often guide clients on self-help exercises and lifestyle adjustments to maintain the alignment achieved during the session.
4. Self-Help Techniques: Clients may be taught simple exercises and stretches to perform at home, promoting a sense of empowerment and active participation in their well-being.
5. Focus on Alignment: The primary focus of Dorn Therapy is on correcting misalignments in the spine, pelvis, and other joints. It is believed that proper alignment is essential for overall health and well-being.
