Meridians and the Dorn Method

A diseased organ can show symptoms along the corresponding meridian. That is a fact that TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) knows since thousands of years.

These symptoms can be for example: Pain, Disruptions in the Sensitivity, Misinterpretations in the Sensory System, Restrictions in Movements, Energy-Blockages, Cramps, Changes in the Tissues and others. Often the corresponding Vertebrae are misaligned or blocked.

From the localization of the complains the Dorn Therapist can get valuable information about the involved Meridians and therefore about the misaligned or blocked vertebrae.

Vise-Versa we can say that with the Dorn-Therapy the Meridians are also always been treated and influenced at the same time and the distant results can therefore be explained through this.

It is possible, for example, that a dry mouth or bad breath disappears because of the correction of vertebrae C4, Th6, Th7 and Th8 influencing the functional circuit Spleen-Stomach-Mouth.

Help Yourself to a BIG slice of The Dorn Method

Published in May / June issue 22 2013

As a Dorn Method Practitioner, I find it very interesting and educational when clients come to my practice and tell me about the problems they have with all sorts of aches and pains. It's educational and interesting because each person is different and everyone has their own story to tell of how they became to suffer the way they have. After all, each person is an individual and no two are the same.

It also never ceases to amaze me when they tell me for how long they have had their problems.
Some of them have been suffering for just a few weeks but then there are others (the majority) who have been suffering for years with their pain.
For some it has been even decades and they are desperate for some relief.

Listening to what they have to say sometimes makes me smile. Why?
This is because just a few years ago that was me too. I was in the very same position as them and can relate to how they are feeling.
I suffered from terrible back pain for many years (20 to be precise) before becoming a Dorn Method Practitioner and because of this, I can understand how most of my clients are feeling and how they think about things relating to treatments for back pain. After all, there are many therapies you can try and there are all sorts of medications out there on the shelves in the High Street that are available to us, all offering that miracle cure for your back pain.
This conjures up memories of the old man in the westerns that I used to watch as a kid. I have a vision of a small scruffy man rolling into town with his horse and wagon and trying to sell his potions and lotions to anyone he could. He would claim that his Dr Miracles elixir would cure all sorts of ailments from chesty coughs and colds, back pain, headaches, even baldness (which is not really an ailment I know but you get my drift).
The list went on and on.

Luckily for us , today we don't have the man rolling into town with his potions claiming to do this that and the other, but we sure have enough of them to choose from. There are also lots of different types of therapies out there that treat back pain with good results.
But finding the right one for you can be confusing and costly.
The Dorn Method has the advantages of being specifically developed to focus on the cause of common back and joint pain. Dieter Dorn, who was the founder of The Dorn Method, had an accident which caused him to hurt his back over 40 years ago in his native country, Germany.
After researching, developing and perfecting his method by treating thousands of people all over Germany with great success. Dorn is now being taught and practised all over the world and is fast becoming the number one back pain treatment of choice.

Now I can't promise you that The Dorn Method is the miracle cure you have all been waiting for because that would be just plain silly. Each person is different, each person has a different set of circumstances. What I can say, though, is that it definitely worked for me.
My back pain is now a thing of the past, thank goodness, and I owe it all to The Dorn Method.
This is what has driven me to become a Dorn Practitioner because I want to try and help people overcome their back and joint pain like I have. By doing so, hopefully be able to enjoy life once again without the pain that causes them so much distress.

For me, what makes The Dorn Method stand out from most other back and joint pain therapies is that it has it's own set of self help exercises.
These are not only safe but also very easy to do and are quite different from the normal, everyday back and joint pain exercises you tend to see in circulation. Doing these exercises won't take up too much of your time, either, just five to ten minutes a day. That's all it is.
The self help side of things is a BIG part of what Dorn is all about. It's not only just about finding and correcting the problem areas that are causing the pain (which will initially be done by your Dorn Method Practitioner), it is also about educating clients to take an interest in and responsibility for their own healthcare, thereby, hopefully, helping them to enjoy a brighter, happier, pain free future.

'The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.' Thomas Edison (1847-1931)
The way I see it, The Dorn Method fits in with today's modern society extremely well as the new healthcare system that is totally mobile friendly.
You can take it with you everywhere you go.
This is the mobile healthcare system that is always available whenever you want it,  wherever you are and is at your fingertips, once you know how to use it.

For your safety:
(Always consult your nearest registered Dorn Method Practitioner for a consultation and check-up before applying any of the techniques of The Dorn Method yourself).
The one thing NOT to do is just get an exercise sheet and go for it. If you do you could end up doing yourself more harm than good. The best thing to do if you suffer from any kind of pain is to first seek medical advice from your doctor or other healthcare professional as there could be  several reasons for why the pain is occurring, other than misaligned joints.

After your initial consultation:
As with any kind of exercise, you must try and do the exercises on a regular basis to feel the benefits. As I have already mentioned, these exercises are safe and easy to do and will only take a few minutes of your time, they can be done almost anywhere you want - even at your place of work during your lunch break ( if you don't mind being stared at by your colleagues that is). You will certainly create a bit of a talking point wherever you are seen doing them, that's for sure.
But that is not at all a bad thing as The Dorn Method is also about educating people and encouraging them to take more care of their own health as they get older. After all, who wants to live on pain killers for the rest of their days?
