Dorn Spinal Therapy is a German originated gentle treatment for any sort of back pain, neck pain, headache and/or spine related illnesses.

 

 

It is a holistic approach consisting of the manual alignment of the body and the spine using active mobilisation techniques. It does not involve manipulation, cracking or any surprising or even violent movements.

 

The Breuss massage as part of the treatment helps to stretch the spine, nurture it with St. Johns Wort oil and release the tightness and pain in the muscular area to loosen the body even more.

 

Everyone Wants It!


“Hi
Barbara, just wanted to let you know, I have seen 6 clients so far (3 days after the workshop) for massage, and have used the technique in the last part of the treatment, after my massage, and have asked the clients whether they prefer the normal massage or the new improved version with your spinal technique. All have chosen to have the technique within their massage each time. Thanks very much.”

Massage Therapist, Brisbane

It still surprises and thrills me…


“I really
enjoyed how hands-on and practical the whole workshop was and have been trying the things I’ve learned out on family and friends. It still surprises and thrills me that I can help effect a change in their posture and stance through such gentle and simple movements.”

Student Of Naturopathy, Perth

 

I Can’t Wait To Apply The New Technique


Thank
you Barbara for teaching the Dorn Spinal Therapy. I enjoyed the weekend completely, the instructions were very clear and precise and I love your sense of humor. I think this technique offers a revolutionary approach to body balance. I fell I have learnt more than I expected and can’t wait to apply the new technique on my clients.”


Andrew Cathles,
Naturopath, Perth

 

The Clear Demonstrations Made It Quite Easy


“Thank you Barbara for a well organised and structured workshop. I
thought we had plenty of time for the concepts to “sink in” and the clear demonstrations made it quite easy to take this very promising technique on board.”

 

Barbara Beeck,
Bowen Therapist, Perth

 

Such A Good Experience


“How fantastic to learn the whole Dorn Spinal Therapy. Such a good
experience. Thank you so much Barbara for your caring and professional manner. It was good to learn a therapy that is beneficial and so very positive. I am sad to finish the course.”


Christine Muir, Naturopath/Herbalist,
Hydrosphere Health & Lifestyle Centre Perth


Dorn Spinal Therapy is still very young in Australia
but it has been in Germany and Europe for the last 30 years. There it is known as the “Gentle Spinal & Joint Therapy of Dorn”, named after Dieter Dorn who started the treatment after having had an exceptional experience with it himself.

Now many natural therapists, doctors, orthopedists, physios, chiropractors and massage therapists apply this simple but effective treatment to their clients with great success.

 

The Best Course


“Just wanted to say
again how much I enjoyed the weekend. It is the best course I have EVER been to and you are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much.”

 

Sharon George,
Naturopath, Perth

 

I Am Really, Really, Really Glad That I Attended The Workshop


“I got introduced to Dorn Spinal Therapy by a friend and he just
said, Lydia you have to come to this workshop, this is something fantastic and it is new to Australia. And here I am and do not regret it.

I learnt a new tool that I can use to help a lot of people with their serious problems and I am really, really, really glad that I attended the workshop. It is so gentle and it works!

The workshop is great, a wonderful environment a very nice instructor.”

Another Fantastic Experience


“….. with Dorn. An elderly lady with chronic neck pain -
immediate relief and it has lasted a full month which is unprededented for her special condition…… A very happy customer, I am pleased to say.”


Andrew Cathles,

Naturopath, Perth


I have studied and worked with the Dorn Therapy
in Germany for more than five years.

Since I came to Australia in January 2000 I have applied the Spinal Therapy on an ever growing number of satisfied clients.

 

For details see testimonials.

 

Realising that this treatment is too valuable to be only available in Avalon, I decided to run workshops and make Dorn Spinal Therapy available for more and more people - clients as well as therapists.

 

I Would Recommend Barbara’s Workshops To Anyone


“I had the pleasure in attending the first Dorn Spinal Therapy
seminar held in Australia, conducted by Dorn Therapist, Barbara Simon, who was taught the method by it’s founder, Dieter Dorn. Barbara has the ability to pass on this knowledge in a logical easy to learn format. I would recommend Barbara’s workshops to anyone who is in the business of treating back pain.


I have found Dorn Spinal Therapy to be very effective in providing
pain relief in patients with muscle and joint pain. I use this technique as a first line therapy in patients with back or neck pain, as not only is it effective, but most importantly it is gentle on the patient. Accordingly I can use this technique in cases of disc injury where other methods maybe contra-indicated due to pain or discomfort.”


Wayne Sibson,
Osteopath, Perth

 

After The Workshop I Feel Confident


“The workshop was fantastic. I think Dorn Spinal Therapy has a
great future because it gives an alternative to the standard forms line-height: 150%” align?tic or osteopathic treatments and there is a lot of people that don’t like that kind of treatment. But Dorn Spinal Therapy is very gentle and it gives another option to those people.


Being an acupuncturist I can use this technique with my clients and
have already done so. After the workshop I feel confident and will implement it immediately.”


Simon Coate,

Acupuncturist, Sydney

Barbara Makes Sure Everyone Is Learning Correctly


“The workshop is very
nicely conducted, a nice small size of participants so Barbara is able to give the attention that most people require and she knows exactly what everybody is doing at a time.


That for me also is the
best in the workshop because Barbara can jump in immediately when people are on the wrong track. So she makes sure everyone is learning correctly and she has the confidence to follow it up all the time.”

I Am Very Happy To Be Able To Add Dorn To The Treatments Available To My Clients


“I am a
Naturopathic Herbalist and Massage Therapist and have been practicing Dorn since February 2006. Whilst largely an unknown therapy in Australia, my regular clients have been keen to have a Dorn treatment, in order to experience a new therapy and as they could see that Dorn has the potential to help their ongoing problems (e.g. migraines, headaches, niggling back pains etc). After experiencing Dorn for the first time, some of my clients comments have been …


‘I feel so much
more balanced’,

‘I feel like I am not carrying the ‘baggage’ I was when I came in’,

‘Dorn is so relaxing and a great combination of treatments’

 

I experienced a Dorn treatment with Barbara before undergoing the training and personally found a big shift in energy ensued in the hours following the treatment, along with a feeling of ‘lightness’. I believe Dorn is a gentle yet powerful and effective therapy and I am very happy to be able to add it to the treatments available to my clients.”

I’ve Learned A Whole Heap In The Class


“It is really worth knowing about Dorn Spinal Therapy, I’ve learned a whole heap in the class, it’s been very well presented and it will be very useful for us. We will be able in helping ourselfs and others with joints and vertebrae. I already felt comfortable after the first weekend to give treatments. Barbara has a wonderful sense of humor, it’s very well presented, doesn’t take long to learn and really is worth while.”


Mary-Jane Yates,
Massage Therapist, Sydney

 

She Wondered How Effective Dorn Would Be


I reviewed one of my Dorn
clients on Sat. She is working very long hours at a desk and has been having dreadful headaches for a few weeks. I see her regularly for massage and more recently Bowen. I had used Dorn on her the previous weekend I think she wondered how effective it would be!


On Sat she came in very
happy, her headaches had reduced considerably and she had not used analgesia for 5 days - had been living on them before. I repeated my work according to what I saw and felt. The pain she felt with my pressure was much lower this time.


I was very happy with her
response to Dorn. Thank you for your excellent teaching skills.
