Dorn and children (German case studies)

Joseph G. Mueller, Dorn Therapist CH-6373 Ennetburgen:

A child is not too young for a Dorntherapie:3-4 children come to me a week to practice (of course with parents) a spinal and joint control to be carried out. It is very important to carry out an inspection from time to incipient faults which can lead to scoliosis, hip problems, etc, to fix the same at the beginning. When a child comes to me with pain, so I can from the body language of the child quickly find out where and what ails the child. The procedure with the children's almost like adults. Control and correction of leg length, etc, just everything a lot smoother. There are very good exercises for the children, the parents can do with them regularly and fun. It would be good if this Dorn therapy is distributed better for our children.

In Practice:

Two years ago, called me a mother. Desperate, she told me that her 7 year old daughter had a headache every day for three years, and no one could help her now. I visited the family in Zurich. The pain was really drawn to the girls face. I immediately started with the Dorn therapy, almost as for adults only much softer and apply slight pressure to the girl I could take the headache. Incidentally, I asked her what had happened before 3 or 4 years? She replied that she was on a bicycle pushed violently against a man on a bicycle, and so much that she was thrown against the pavement edge to the head. At first she did not notice much of the fall, several months later she got a headache at intervals. Later day. Pain was also more and more, until they had so much vomit. It took the girl to move only the atlas to the right. For a child, it takes a lot of feeling and love. Just how it works, with feeling and love! Since the day the girl had no more headaches, there are now about 2 years ago. Today, she can laugh again and be merry.In these and similar accidents, the skeleton of a large or small people to be controlled.We see nothing outwardly when a vortex is moved. The insidious thing is that later the pain begin. In general, children are so flexible that little happens in a crash. Is slightly shifted, the children would unconsciously move so that the vortex usually push themselves back into the correct position.Increasingly mothers with their toddlers into practice. A mother came in and said that her 3 month old child cry and almost always night and day. Then I checked the child's spine gently and almost no pressure. After a few minutes it goes to sleep. The mother told me later that the treatment had been her child no more stomach cramps.A toddler was with me because the pediatrician diagnosed scoliosis, and had pointed out recommended a spike - therapist mother. I was able to treat the infant, now it's two years old and has no more scoliosis. It is important to treat scoliosis early, the earlier the better. A child is not too young to make such a gentle Dorn therapy.

Milly Gueisbuhler, Dorn Therapist, CH-2740 Moutier:
In Practice:
A 14 year old boy (volleyball player) visits the doctor because of severe back pain. The doctor notes pelvic tilt and curvature of the thoracic spine and sends the accompanying mother and him to a physical therapist. The mother decides to come to me (she had heard that I just shove the bone). The leg length test results: Right leg four inches longer, left leg two centimeters out gerutsches hip. I adjust the leg length, and the sacrum is also displaced, and the fourth to eighth thoracic vertebra, which I also correct. The young man does his homework exercises diligently (insertion of the hip joints, especially in the evening) and has since been without complaints. He is (now playing in the A team Volleyball) very athletic and has grown to be an upright, straight young man.



In Practice: 
A man speaks to me in front of our house: he had a daughter who had back pain. He was himself masseur, but he could not help. We're from a rendez-vous and the mother brings her 15-year-old daughter to me. The pain she was in the upper back. She is in 8th School year and sit for long at school. The stress tests will also help with the still. I correct her leg lengths (both legs 2 inches longer) and show them how they must do it yourself. Then there is the correction of the spine. The upper thoracic vertebrae (3rd-5th) were displaced. Then she gets a gentle Breuss massage. She sleeps like one leaves me relaxed and pain free. It comes once in my practice, I give her extra Bachblüten to cope with the stress at school better. Meanwhile, half a year has passed, until they sought my help.
