The Dorn Method

Suffer from Chronic Pain, Back Pain, Sciatica, Joint Pain or Posture imbalances?

The Dorn Method Therapy focuses on restoring balance to the body to help avoid many health problems. It is a gentle and safe manual therapy focusing on back and joint pain but can also help with neck and shoulder pain issues. Dorn is used to correct realignments of the spine and other joints and is very safe and effective. It involves no ‘clicking’ or ‘crunching’ sensations, that many people fear or dislike.

A Breuss Spinal Massage is included at the end of the Dorn treatment to calm, relax and nourish the spine. This can be booked as a separate massage treatment on its own if required. It provides an excellent maintenance and preventative joint care system designed to help with pain and look after your body over the long term. It’s an amazing treatment providing excellent results and with the ‘self-help’ exercises given to you and fully demonstrated, will enable you to continue with an ongoing treatment plan at home.

Benefits of The Dorn Method

Pain Relief: The Dorn Method is effective in alleviating pain associated with spinal misalignments, joint pain, muscle tension and chronic pain conditions, often providing immediate relief.
Non-Invasive: Unlike other spinal adjustment techniques, the Dorn Method does not require manipulation or cracking of the spine, making it a non-invasive treatment.
Improved Posture: The Dorn Method helps correct misalignments that can affect posture, leading to improved alignment of the spine and overall body posture.
Increased Mobility: By correcting joint and spinal misalignments, the Dorn Method can help increase flexibility and range of motion, especially in the spine, hips, and joints.
Personalised Treatment: The method is tailored to each individual, taking into account their specific musculoskeletal issues and health conditions, allowing for customised care.
Relieves Tension: The Dorn Method can help reduce muscular tension and stiffness, often associated with stress or incorrect posture, leading to a more relaxed body.
Supports Balance: Correcting misalignments in the spine and joints helps improve overall balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
Improved Circulation: The technique may stimulate blood flow and lymphatic drainage, which can enhance circulation and aid in the body’s natural healing process.
Better Nerve Function: By addressing spinal misalignments, the Dorn Method can improve nerve function, potentially reducing symptoms like numbness, tingling, or weakness in the limbs.
Complementary Therapy: It can be used alongside other therapies, such as physical therapy or chiropractic care, to enhance overall healing and well-being.

How The Dorn Method has helped

Lower back pain, hip pain and quadricep muscle tightness..

“I have been to Nannette a few times now as I suffer with lower back pain, hip pain and thigh muscle tightness. As a horse rider it’s quite normal to suffer with lower back pain and I need to keep mobile to ride and look after them. Nannette helps to keep me pain fee, along with Pilates and stretches. She also sorts me out if I’ve had a fall, slip or spasm, with a good, deep massage and with her ‘Dorn’ Method, which helps my spine/hips/pelvis. The Dorn method uses gentle body movements to entice normal muscle function around the bones, helping to release the tightness and to re-align. It's so effective.

From my first experience with Nannette, she put me at ease, explaining everything along the way, and she’s very friendly and very professional. She’s always doing some new courses to stay up to date and learn as much as she can. A big thumbs up from me.”

JOANNE L.

Arthritis of the neck..

“I did not know about Dorn Therapy until my sister told me about it and it sounded very positive!

I have suffered with arthritis in my neck for some time and decided to give Dorn Therapy a go... I wasn’t disappointed... I looked at Nannette’s web site and knew instantly that she was the one who I could relate to and I knew after speaking with her on the phone that It was the right decision.

At the first appointment I was welcomed with a smile and warm greeting and immediately felt at ease... Nannette completed a very thorough consultation and then she explained about the treatment. It was so gentle and relaxing and all the time she was explaining exactly what she was doing to my neck and why.

I felt so positive after the first session as she also showed some stretching exercises, I could do to help relieve the pain. 2 weeks on and I am certainly feeling the benefits and although I understand there is no cure for arthritis, to get relief from Dorn Therapy is wonderful!

I would certainly recommend Nannette she is a lovely lady and very skilled in all that she does. She is very natural and has a very positive outlook on life which I relate to.

Nannette thank you so very much for helping me!

Recommended!

“I would highly recommend Nannette, I struggled with lower back pain due to a car accident. I have had some DORN treatments which were very effective and she had given me an exercise rehab programme to strengthen my back and core muscles. Her professionalism and work ethic are to an extremely high standard. I am really pleased with the outcome of my treatment!”

HELEN H.

My first go to person for help..

“This year I had a shoulder injury and thankfully Nannette is also fully qualified in Sports Therapies and The Dorn Method and so she was my first 'go to person' for help. After only a couple of treatments I was in less pain and had the movement back in my shoulder and following the exercises she recommended, have my strength back. I am now able to join in a weekly exercise class. I highly recommend her.”

ANN H.
