Do Spinal Therapy – The Revolutionary Skill For Massage Therapists

If you are looking to learn a new skill that gives you the opportunity to move into more effective back care with your own clients then Do
Spinal Therapy is just the right modality for you. Sure as massage therapist you would see many clients suffering from some sort of back or neck pain and often you have to send them off to see a chiropractor or osteopath or other health care practitioner. But Do
Spinal Therapy can stop that as it allows you to work on your clients’s structural alignment before performing a deep tissue massage and address the muscular problems. And it seems very logical that massage on a structurally aligned body is much more effective than on an imbalanced body.

Do
Spinal Therapy offers your patients a safe, gentle means of correcting spinal abnormalities. With only minimal training and some practice, this therapy can be included in your practice in conjunction with your other services for your clients’ overall well being. It has been discovered in Germany by a farmer called Dieter Dorn some 35 years ago and after being kept inside german and european borders for a long time it is now conquering the world with the help of some dedicated practitioners having migrated to other parts in this world. Do
Spinal Therapy definitely has a great future because it is easy to learn, effective, safe and clients respond very well to the treatment.

The first step in Do
Spinal Therapy is to evaluate the patient’s leg lengths. And this is one of the crucial steps in Do
Spinal Therapy as a leg length discrepancy can lead to a variety of problems, not only back problems but also headaches. So it is vital in every treatment to check and balance the legs. Usually the leg length remains balanced after the first treatment given the client does the easy home exercises regularly.

The next step is to check the sacrum and coccyx for any imbalances and with the client in movement we can easily balance these. What means the client in movement? That is another vital part of Do
Spinal Therapy – your client is helping you and therby himself to ensure the safety of the treatment. When you work to correct the left sacrum your client swings the right leg to keep the structure flexible and make it easier for the bones to shift. The same process happens when working on the spine. The client always swings the opposite leg or arm to where we are working on. It also ensures that we can never move vertebrae too far as the muscle engagement on the other side of the spine creates a natural barrier to the spine.

That brings us to the next step, working along the spine. We use our thumbs to find any given deviation in the spine and then work on each individual vertebra to realign the entire spine. And as mentioned above the client is engaged in the process by swinging the leg or the arm when working on the upper spine.

Even working on the neck is simple and very effective, the movement of your client here is a constant turning of the head whilst you work on any unaligned vertebra. And I know that it sounds scary to work on the neck but with Do
Spinal Therapy you will have the confidence to do so easily and help so many clients suffering from back headaches and stiff necks.

With the body aligned we then perform a gentle spinal stretch massge, using St. Jons wort oil. This massage has been developed by Dr. Breuss and is a fabulous massage to relax your client after the treatment and take the focus off the pain.

Of course you can combine Do
Spinal Therapy with any other type of massge or treatment you have at hand to reduce pain but you will see that your outcomes are just so much more satisfying – and your clients are very happy.
