Dieter Dorn and the history of the DORN METHOD

Dieter Dorn is a farmer and saw mill owner in South Germany.
Over 30 years ago while lifting a heavy log he suffered a Lumbago (sciatic pain) that practically restrained him to move and certainly hindered him to continue his work. Looking for quick relieve he remembered an old farmer in his neighbour village that was known to heal these kind of problems in a painless and remarkable way.

Dieter Dorn went to see this old farmer and was quickly healed with just a light push of a thumb and some simple movements. Impressed by this simple and quick therapy he asked the farmer if he could teach him this healing method. The farmer answered him: “You don’t need to learn it – you already know it.” The old farmer encouraged Dieter Dorn to continue to work with this method since he wouldn’t be living much longer. After few months this old farmer died without passing along this method to Dieter Dorn. For this reason Dieter Dorn had to work the method out by him self and he developed the DORN METHOD as we know it today.

His first patient was his own wife who suffered headaches since 10 years. After Dieter Dorns treatment these headaches disappeared as fast as his Lumbago pain disappeared and never came back again. After that Dieter Dorn treated neighbours, colleges and customers. More and more people came to see him and a lot of them he could help. This way Dieter Dorn treated and helped many people over many years while he experimented and developed his method.
In 1985 Dr. Thomas Hansen M.D. a former orthopaedic and chirurgical doctor contacted Dieter Dorn for a treatment. Thenceforward Dr. Thomas Hansen supplied Dieter Dorn with medical literature and Dieter Dorn started to learn more about anatomy and physiology. Over the time a close contact arose between the doctor and the healer without academic degree.

A few years later Dieter Dorn decided to teach others this method and he started his first seminars. His seminars were predominantly meant to teach lay people to help themselves within their families. But more and more people from the medical field attended his seminars. Today physiotherapists, massage therapists, chiropractors and even doctors are among the thousands of therapists that are offering the DORN METHOD as part of their service to their patients in Germany.
