Thorn Therapy

The Dorn Method was developed in the 1970s by Dieter Dorn, a farmer from Allgäu. The method aims to treat problems of the musculoskeletal system gently, easily and with the help of the patient without the use of equipment. The Dorn therapy is a good way to correct a pelvic obliquity.

At the beginning of the treatment the therapist first measures the legs to determine a possible leg length difference. If this is present, the therapist corrects it with the active assistance of the patient.The patient carries out movements instructed by the therapist, while the therapist himself applies targeted pressure to individual parts of the body to bring the structures back into the correct position. After correcting the leg lengths, the therapist will systematically examine the entire spine for irregularities and correct them if necessary. If there are still problems in the end, these will also be examined more closely. In the Dorn therapy, the patient is always given individually tailored exercises which can be carried out at home on his own responsibility, so that the recurrence of problems can be prevented in the long term.

ISG Blockade

The ISG blockage is a blockage in the area of the sacroiliac joint. The sacroiliac joint is the sacroiliac joint that connects the pelvis to the lower part of the spine. The sacroiliac joint is surrounded by a strong ligamentous apparatus that holds it securely in position.

An ISG blockage is when the sacroiliac joint is displaced from its natural position due to structural changes in the joint surfaces or surrounding tissue, causing problems. These include restricted movement, pain and resulting poor posture. An ISG blockage should be repaired as soon as possible in order to relieve the patient’s suffering and avoid consequential damage.

There are several ways to return the joint to the correct position. With special exercises, patients can try to remove the ISG blockage. Also, manipulation of the sacroiliac joint in a cross grip by an experienced therapist can bring the joint back into its normal position.

Painkillers, kinesiotapes, acupuncture, heat applications and other forms of therapy can help to relieve the pain of the patient. After an ISG blockage, patients should perform exercises at home to strengthen and stabilize the structures around the ISG. You would like to get more information about ISG-Blockade?
