.: Breuss Massage

The Breuss Massage is a very gentle spinal massage that safely stretches, nourishes, aligns, energizes and heals your back!

It was developed by the late Austrian healer Rudolf Breuss and it is a perfect combination with the Dorn Method.
Most Dorn Method Courses also teach the Breuss Massage today.

Rudolf Breuss said that there is no such thing as 'wear' of the intervertebral disc but the discs become somewhat 'degenerated', and he was convinced that regeneration was possible. Certainly the results achieved with Breuss Massage suggest that this is quite possible!

.: For basic understanding

Our Spine is like any other living organism, it is in a constant state of 'stress and relief', needs nourishment, rest but also the right amount of 'stress' in the form of active movement to maintain its strength and function. During the day our spine and especially our 'discs' are stressed and they need to fulfill their duty as shock-absorbers whenever we stand , walk or sit. Because of this the discs become squeezed, some of the liquid is lost and the discs become 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 somewhat regenerate somewhat by 'reabsorbing' the liquid lost during the day back in, almost like a dry sponge placed in water. This mechanism is altered in a negative way when our metabolism is not balanced or impaired for many different reasons.

The Breuss Massage can ve compared to having a healthty full night's sleep. By stretching the spine and using natural oil in the process, the discs are nourished like the sponge given water. In this relaxed state the spine also can be safely and painlessly re-aligned.

Important note: I perform this massage at the end of the Dorn Method therapy (see Dorn method) as it is quite complementary to it.
