Is Dorn back massage therapy similar to Chiropratic?

Chiropractic manipulation usually involves a sharp, precise, thrusting movement of a joint to "free it up".  Dorn Therapy supports the natural movement of the body and is a very effective alternative to chiropractic.

The re-adjustment of the static and correction of painful joints and/or vertebrae are done in co-operation with the client.

The client is then shown some self-help exercises  in order to stabilize the new position and to help the muscles adapt to this new state. Some say that a diligent patient only needs one treatment!


No, Dorn back massage therapy  is different in most aspects:
