Breuss Massage + Dorn Method
Breuss massage is a very gentle spine massage, which is carried out by specific slow gentle grips and has very favourable relaxing effects on the spine.

Often, St John’s wort oil is applied on the spine after the massage, having very good nourishing effects on vertebral discs.
