The Breuss Massage
Dorn treatment can be combined with a very relaxing spinal massage called the Breuss
Massage. This is a gentle massage that safely stretches, nourishes, aligns and energizes
the Back. The Breuss massage can be useful when a patient for example has severe
sciatic pain, where the massage then helps to take away some of the pain and tension,
helping to make Dorn treatment more effective.
The Breuss Massage was developed by the late Austrian Healer Rudolf Breuss and combines
perfectly with the Dorn Method. Rudolf Breuss said that there is no such thing as
‘wear’ of intervertebral disc but instead that the discs are ‘degenerated’, he was
convinced that regeneration was possible.
The spine is like any other living organism, which is in a constant state of ‘stress
and relief’. It not only needs nourishment and rest, but also the right amount of
‘stress’ in the form of active movements to maintain its strength and function.
During the day our spine and especially our ‘discs’ are stressed and they need to
fulfil their duty as shock-absorbers whenever we stand, walk or sit.
These discs are consequently squeezed and some of the liquid within gets out making
the discs thinner. We are actually a little shorter in the evening compared to the
morning after standing up. During sleep the spine relaxes and stretches out, and
the discs can somewhat regenerate. This mechanism is altered in
a negative way when our metabolism is not in balance or impaired for many different
reasons.
The Breuss Massage actually stretches the spine, and acts rather like a whole nights
worth of healthy sleeping. After the Breuss Massage, the Dorn Method is much easier
to carry out because in this relaxed state, the spine can be more easily and painlessly
re-aligned.
This combination of both Dorn treatment and Breuss massage provide a very effective
tool to gently align the spine and joints, and regenerate the whole body system
in a simple and very effective way.
