Ms S. K.,'s experience (from Heidelberg) Helplessly being confronted by pain... The Dorn Method, combined with the fantastic physiotherapist Mr Hess, made my sudden, unbearable, eight day long pain completely disappear. I had been complaining of a severe burning sensation on my skin all over the top part of my body, muscle ache in my thighs, circulation problems, low blood pressure, an unwell feeling as well as lack of energy. I desparately needed help and advice from specialists, and searched frantically without success. Unfortunately all doctors and the medical clinic treat such a problem with pain killers. Nobody once tried to find the cause of the pain. I am so very grateful to Mr Hess that he was able to free me of pain so quickly by applying the Dorn Method.

In May 2005 Mrs K came to see me in my practice in Leimen, near Heidelberg. She told me about a tragic accident which had happened some time ago at school. Another pupil fell on top of her from a ladder on the wall and fell right onto her head. Her head was forced towards her right shoulder. The ligament atlanto occipitale and the muscle sternocleidomastoideus were badly sprained and the small cervical ligaments were torn through on the one side.

I finally treated the patient energetically with the Breuss massage to get rid of her exhaustion and pain and to let her vital energy flow again.

The patient was back to normal after just one Dorn session.

One week later Mrs K. came to one of my lectures in the Evening School in Leimen. She told me she had cancelled her appointment for the operation and had told Professor Lorenz (University Hospital Heidelberg) about my work.

I was grateful for the presence of Dr Bischoff (Thorax Clinic, Heidelberg) at one of my recent lectures.

I was not satisfied with this procedure and looked for an alternative.

As I was at a non-medical practitioner with my husband to treat his allergies I saw, by chance, some information about the Dorn Method and its treatment of back problems. At the beginning of 2004 I found a non-medical practitionner in the yellow pages who used this method. The treatment resulted in success: I was pain-free, apart from when I physically exerted myself. Even falling on my back in August 2004 and breaking two ribs didn't significantly worsen the situation with my back. However the spinal contortion was still there and after some time the pain in the cervical vertebre returned. After a while I also had crooked shoulders.

In mid-January I read an advertisement in a newspaper for one of Alfred Hess's lectures on the Dorn Method. We went to this lecture and found out about further treatment concerning the complete straightening of the spine and the levelling of shoulders. As a result of that I went to see Mr Hess and he treated me. He straightened my spine and solved the problem with my shoulders. The few bouts of pain I had had in my neck disappeared.

I am more than satisfied with the treatment and can really recommend being treated with the Dorn Method for people with back problems.

I would like to thank Mr Hess in Leimen for his treatment using the Dorn Method and I hope that he can help alot of other people.

Kindest Regards
G. K.

Mrs A. E.'s experience, 64354 Reinheim

In April 2003 I suddenly began to suffer from severe pain in my back. After several examinations by our local orthopaedist it was concluded in January 2004 that the last vertebre of the spine was no longer closed. (Wear or tear, or from birth on; cause not known. due to this the spine wasn't being supported and was slowly moving inwards. (Januray 2004, it had moved 2cm) This deformation was pressing on the sciatic nerve on both sides (the right side was the worst). Because of that I had continual pain, as well as a paralysing feeling and numbness in both legs. The treatment suggested by the orthopaedist was as follows: "We either have to operate or you will just have to put up with the pain." They couldn't do anything else for me. As I wanted to avoid being operated on at all costs, I just "put up with it". I succeeded in doing this until December 2005. In January I contacted Mr Hess and was on my way to him a week later.

Mr Hess saw what was wrong with me straight away without me having to tell him much of my story.

Mr Hess treated me with the Dorn Method as well as massage and cupping. As I arrived at Mr Hess's practice, I was feeling so bad that I couldn't imagine getting up from his bench. When the treatment was over, this was one of the easiest exercises. It was unbelievable how much better I felt after his treatment. My pain was relieved and sleeping was made a whole lot easier. It had always taken me a very long time to get up in the mornings because of the pain. After treatment I could get up normally. Furthermore my exhaustion has disappeared. My continual tiredness too. Perhaps because of being able to sleep well? I am looking forward to my next session with Mr Hess as I know he can help me.

Mr H.S.'s experience, 68753 Waghäusel, 4.01.06

My medical history:

1) Pain in my left leg for weeks (around the knee and up to the hips/pelvis) with real problems walking. the orthopeadist who treated me gave the following diagnosis: pelvic obliquity and suspected ISG blockage.

The shoe inlays recommended by the doctor did not help at all.

2) Alongside that, I had had problems seeing for years (flickering which made reading impossible) , sometimes for about 15-20 minutes everyday and sometimes sporadically every second or third day. The doctors were not able to help me here either.

I found out about the Dorn Method through an acquaintance. In order to find a qualified therapist for this method I phoned the "inventor" by the same name in Lautrach and his wife recommended Alfred Hess in Leimen as the best contact.

Even after the first Dorn session with this outstanding therapist my pain was aleviated and within a few days I was pain-free.

My sight problems also completely disappeared after this first session and I haven't had any such problems since.

I would like to thank Mr Hess for his excellent work with the Dorn Method.

I was totally convinced by the combination of the Dorn Method and this outstanding therapist.

A. Hess's comment

Mr Schumacher from Waghäusel came to my practice in Leimen near Heidelberg in December 2005.

The pain in his left leg had been caused by one leg being longer than the other. The left hip joint was incompletely dislocated and this resulted in his left leg being 1.6cm longer. I corrected the ankle joint and the subtalar joint on both feet and saw that there was a blockage in the right foot caused years before as Mr Schumacher had stepped into a pothole. He worked back then and did not proceed with treatment for this injury until December 2005 when the pain started. The right os ilium (wing of the ilium) had also been displaced by 5 degrees due to the difference in leg lengths. I got rid of this using Dorn.

Furthermore L3 and L2 were twisted to the right. A slight scoliosis had been caused due to the twisted Th10 through to Th1. C3, C2 and C1 were also blocked. Th2 had been pushed inwards; I put this vertebre back into position through cupping.

I also cupped the bladder meridian.

After this first Dorn session the patient was free from eye problems as well as the pain in this knee, ISG and pelvis (pelvis obliquity). Mr Schumacher came to one of my lectures after that, on 27.03.06 in the Gemeinschaftsinitiative Schwetzingen, sponsored by the Sparkasse Heidelberg.
