This particularly interactive technique was developed by a German farmer, Dieter Dorn, and then scientifically developed by the orthopedist, Markus Hansen. Based on the correction of spinal column misalignments, the approach is not manipulative and uses reciprocal movement to dissolve muscle tension reestablish balance in the spine and posture. Massage, in fact, avails of the synergy between the operator who exerts light finger pressure along the backbone and the receiver breathes and makes slight movements in turn.
