The original Olympic events were influenced by military skills needed in times of war such as riding skills. Equestrian events further obtained their inspiration from the chariot races of the ancient Greek games. Until 1952 only commissioned officers of the military could compete in Olympic dressage, a sport in which humans and animals are teammates. As with sailing, equestrian is the only other Olympic sport where men and women compete against each other.

I’m often intrigued by the way clients describe what it feels like to receive a massage. The sensation felt when working slowly up from the Achilles tendon along the deep fibres of the soleus muscle towards the knee, was likened by one lady to squeezing toothpaste out of tube. Another said her back felt “all warm and squidgy, like porridge or custard” after her treatment – rather than the “brittle, grey plastic guttering” that was lodged in her shoulder blades beforehand. Yet, it was the similarity to “ironing creases out of a tea-towel” which recently got me thinking more about the role of functional, flowing movement and trust during therapy in helping clients stay relieved of unnecessary tension, and aid recovery and proprioceptive reprogramming. |

Although you have probably never heard of it, The Dorn Method was
developed in Germany around 35 years ago by Dieter Dorn, who still
teaches this simple but hugely effective Back and Joint care therapy to
this day in his native Bavarian homeland. Stories of Dorn’s amazing
successes abound, and indeed can now be found in increasing numbers not
only in the UK, but also as far away as the U.S.A., Australia and The
Philippines.
