One of The Dorn Method's aims is to show people how they can look after themselves over the long term through a range of self-help exercises. The role of the Therapist is to first identify any underlying problems and to set in process a mechanism designed to help the body help itself using manual dorn therapy. The role of the Therapist then turns to that of education, promoting good posture and teaching a series of self-help exercises in order that clients are able to continue doing for themselves what the Therapist started.
