Become a Dorn Practitioner
The DORN Method has been described as a "folk medicine" to be shared with as many people as possible. It’s an easy to learn yet very effective practise that has been offered traditionally in Germany to everyone. Both professional and lay people greatly benefit. All you need is your hands and an open heart. A massage table is practical especially for the BREUSS Massage, but not necessary.
Who can train?
Body Professionals
Massage Therapists, Physiotherapists, Kinesiologists and other Bodywork Practitioners
The DORN Method is a valuable manual technique to add to your skills and incorporate into your practise. You can use the DORN Method to supplement other manual techniques and therapies and equip your clients with simple self-help exercises to maintain the result of your work. Or you can only offer the DORN Method and BREUSS Massage as a highly effective holistic self-healing method.
Movement Professionals
Instructors of Yoga, Pilates, Gyrotonic, Dance, Personal Trainers, Sports Coaches and PE Teachers
The DORN Method is very easy to learn and safe to apply. You will be able to help your clients or students whenever a painful condition arises (or even before). You will have a tool to relieve pain and show them how they can adjust their misaligned areas immediately. The Dorn Method can be used as a full treatment or incorporated into your session. For specific problems a 5minute hands on can already be very effective. Your students will feel better, perform better and benefit long term from an aligned structure. With the self-help exercises they will be able to maintain the effects.
Others
The founder Dieter DORN wanted to offer the technique to everybody who is interested to help with their hands or to learn how to help themselves. It doesn’t require anatomical knowledge to learn and is absolutely safe to use. It can be used with family members, colleagues, friends, babies and children, the elderly and even pets to bring quick relieve from spinal and joint related discomfort. Chronic conditions like scoliosis can be prevented and treated. If you suffer from pains you will be able to understand your body and learn to be your own healer.

♥ "Thank you Anna for sharing your knowledge and expertise with me. You are a wonderfully patient teacher, and the course had the right balance of theory and practical work. I feel very confident about my Dorn and Breuss knowledge, I am enjoying treating my clients and it is all thanks to you that I feel this way. I look forward to the follow up session - Lynn Angel"
♥ "People have been coming with neck and shoulder problems, lower back pain, sciatica, digestive issues/chronic constipation have resolved with clients, etc. I’ve been treating a woman with chronic hip pain and it’s been so successful that she recently went for a 4 km walk (and the first time I saw her she could not move without pain)... this was after 3 sessions" - Hayley Jordan
♥ "I have found the Dorn Method very complimentary to the method of healing I apply. I like the interaction it allows between the client and myself. It creates the space for the clients to understand their own spine and bones and ligaments, while you gentle explain and do the exercises of the Dorn method and relaxing the spine with the Breuss method of massage for an end treatment is deeply relaxing and satisfying." - Suzanne du Plessis
