What Is Kinesiology?
Kinesiology encompasses holistic health disciplines which use the gentle art of muscle monitoring to access information about a person's well-being.
It combines Western techniques and Eastern wisdom to promote physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well being of a person. Kinesiology identifies the elements which inhibit the body's natural internal energies, accessing the life enhancing potential within the individual.
I teach teachers in PD classes how to help their students learn easier and stress free.
I am a qualified Instructor for Touch for Health® Kinesiology

What is Dorn Spinal Therapy?
it is the number 1 back pain treatment in Europe used by doctors, naturopaths and physiotherapists finally available in Australia .
it is a gentle spinal and joint treatment to work with back problems, joint problems, organ problems and headaches caused by a wrongly placed vertebra or different leg length.
a non manipulative treatment as joints and vertebrae slip back to their right and natural position through self determined movements of the patients .
It is a low repetitive therapy , as often with the alignment of just a single vertebra and the balancing of the leg length the patient will get relieve from back or neck pain or headaches and related discomforts.
It is understanding the connection of the spinal column with certain meridians, organs and patterns of thoughts.
Can DORN SPINAL THERAPY help your children? YES!
a fantastic technique to balance leg length differences in children before they even create problems for their hips and ultimately backs
Children with developmental delay benefit from this therapy , as it enhances their physical stability and proprioceptive sensory integration.
regular check ups in children and adolescents help prevent or treat the negative side effects of heavy schoolbags and long hours in "cool postures" or in front of computers .
