Dorn Spine & Joint Therapy
Dorn Spine and Joint Therapy is a holistic manual therapy and true self help method for the gentle and safe correction of misalignments in the spine and other joints. The vertebra is gently pushed back in place while the patent moves the surrounding muscles to facilitate the correction. It is useful in treating illnesses directly or indirectly connected to the spinal column. Dorn Spinal Therapy is free of dangerous side effects, completely safe and yet very effective.
Finch Therapy
Finch Therapy is a holistic and gentle style of structural balancing that does not subject you to pain. It aims at identifying and eliminating the potential cause of your pain and to prevent accelerated wear and tear on your body. Finch Therapy is a revolutionary discovery and a missing link in effective treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain.
Some of the common conditions treated with Finch Therapy are:
- Sciatica
- Dizziness
- Meniereís Disease
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Severs Disease
- Back, Neck & Shoulder Pain
- Tennis & Golfers Elbow
- Headaches/migraines
- Knee, hip & ankle pain
- Osgood-Schlatter
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Finch Therapy balances the muscles throughout your body, activating your body’s natural healing abilities giving you long-term pain relief.
It is working on the lines of pull all the way through the body. The therapist does a series of orthopaedic assessments to find the primary muscle(s) causing the pain. They then prescribe small but precise exercises to activate the affected muscle(s). This evenly distributes the load throughout the body like a chain reaction, taking the stress off other muscles and joints and restoring your body’s natural balance.
Physical dysfunctions require a physical solution. They are the direct result of a muscle or group of muscles overpowering the opposing muscles, what we call "muscle imbalances". Think of it as a Tug-of-War.
You need to reprogram the body’s muscle memory patterns by doing these exercises daily until your next structural assessment. If you don’t do the exercises this therapy will not work for you.
If you have been in pain for some time, it’s important to realise that your body has been undergoing physical changes for a long time. The longer these imbalances are left untreated the more your body can become unbalanced and the possibility of you experiencing spinal misalignment. This can interference with nerve signals to your organs and brain which; in-turn, can cause an array of other physical and mental ailments.
Even though Finch Therapy is working on structural alignment for pain relief, people notice improvements with other health areas. For example; sleeping disorders; digestive problems; breathing difficulties; irritable bowel and increased energy.
It is very important that you don’t miss your next appointment while we are reprogramming your muscles to pull your structure straight. If you can’t make your next appointment for any reason it is important that you speak to your therapist to get directions on what to do.

Structural Balancing Explained
Structural Balancing is a type of therapy that does exactly what it suggests, restoring our body’s alignment and balance. While you may feel pain in your back, the actual cause of the pain could be the front of your thighs!! Physical dysfunctions develop over time and can be the direct result of a muscle or group of muscles overpowering the opposing muscles, what we call "muscle imbalances". Think of it as a tug-of-war between your muscles.
When your muscles are out of balance they pull your bones and joints out of their normal position and this places them under constant and uneven stress. The longer these imbalances are left untreated the longer it takes to correct, resulting in more stress on your body and more pain in muscles and joints. The ideal alignment is to have the feet directly under the hips and knees and have the torso, shoulders and neck balanced over the hips with minimal muscular activity going on to hold this upright position. The knees should be straight ahead. The feet should not be turned out. The weight should be balanced over the feet evenly not with more weight on the heels or balls of the feet. From the side you should be able to draw a straight line through the ear, shoulder, hip, ankle perpendicular to the floor.
I strongly believe in educating people to help themselves to get out of pain. To do this I use my knowledge in traditional Structural Alignment with Finch Therapy and remedial therapy. Finch Therapy works on the lines of pull all the way through the body. It balances the muscles throughout your body, activating your bodies own natural healing abilities, giving you lasting pain relief. The therapist does a series of structural tests to find what muscles are NOT working and then prescribes exercises to get these muscles to work. This evenly distributes the load throughout the body, taking the stress off other muscles and joints and restoring your body’s balance.
