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."
"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."
Jasmine Riley,
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."
Lydia
Malishev, Massage Therapist Melbourne
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.
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 of manipulation through chiropractic 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."
"... only 2 days after the workshop I already had 3
paying customers. And the results were really
fantastic. They will be back for more. Thanks Barbara, I
am glad I did the workshop."
Brigitte Bohren, Massage Therapist, Melbourne

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."
"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.
