I have been getting treatments and massages for over 25 years from a variety of practitioners including chiropractors, osteopaths, physios, and massage therapists who are all very good in their fields - Thai, remedial, shiatsu, Swedish, and deep tissue etc. I have neck, shoulder, hip, knee and jaw issues from years of competing in sports.
I have made more progress in the 6 months I have been seeing Johannes than I have with all other practitioners put together. His technical skill and knowledge of the muscular skeletal and other associated systems is superior to most. Then with the variety of modalities he utilises (functional cupping, dry needling, swing pillows massage) with the application of his knowledge and skill he gets amazing results. He does not go through a standard or set formula but uses his knowledge and skill and engineering background to assesses how the individual parts of the body are working and how they are and should work and conjunction with all the other parts of the body they interact with. He then works on them until they are the best they can be.
Johannes dedication and passion for his work, all over health and promoting self empowerment is so incredibly impressive and rare in this field I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

I would like to provide my highest recommendation and commendation for Johannes Boyke. Johannes has been singularly important to help me regain mobility and functionality, and to reduce pain from my severe condition of multiple spinal and pelvic fractures.
As background, I am a university engineering professor, and due to several unfortunate incidences causing 24 fractures, along with severe osteoporosis, I ended up nearly paralysed and unable to stand or walk. Needless to say, I tried everything to recover and alleviate pain - consulting every type of specialist, and conducting extensive research to find some approach to a solution. Nothing helped, and most treatments made things worse.
Fast forward to meeting Johannes Boyke: I was on the ferry, holding onto my walker, thinking, "I need a miracle - I need to find some way to be able to fix this spine, to be able stand on my own again, and be out of pain." A nice gentleman smiled and asked if he could have the seat by me. I asked him about his profession, and he told me what he did, as a Dorn Practitioner. The miracle! This is exactly the person I need.
We decided to meet, so I could have a first session. I was immediately and immensely impressed by the level of detail and rigour he devoted to understanding my condition, and the way he was able to explain the mechanics of the spine and physical body, and how everything is interconnected. For the first time, I was able to understand the reason for my pain, as well as how the Dorn method could help with healing.
Right after our first session, I felt like a new person. I felt realigned and pain-free. Even by objective measures, my condition had remarkably improved: my pelvic rotation was corrected (1.5 cm of anterior displacement of the right ilium) and my lateral pelvic tilt was improved (uneven stance of 3.5 cm reduced to 2.5 cm). Significantly, by that evening, I could stand on my own two legs, without holding onto walker, and without pain! I was jubilant!
Since that time, after every session, my functionality improves, I can stand longer and walk farther, and my pain reduces. Johannes has turned my life around. He has succeeded where others could not. What's more, his approach is very gentle, with subtle movements and adjustments, yet it is powerfully effective. I am perhaps an extreme case due to my multiple fractures and bone loss, but I have never felt any pain at all. I could write for pages about all the wonderful things about Johannes Boyke. He is not only exceptionally talented, thoughtful, brilliant, hard-working, dedicated, and caring - he is a truly good and kind person. He has given me health, happiness, and hope!

I saw Johannes to help me with a blocked shoulder. I couldn’t lift with my left arm, and my movement of the shoulder was severely restricted (and painful). Prior to seeing him, I had tried massages and movement therapies. I experienced short-term relief. However, within a day or two I was back to where I was before.
Johannes undertook a thorough examination of my posture and movements. I greatly appreciated how he explained what was likely to cause the pain and restriction in my shoulder. This helped me to understand better my body and how certain movement habits contribute to the issues, and what I can do to help ‘heal’ my body. I think this is also a crucial aspect of the therapy itself.
Within a few sessions and my work on changing some of my ‘unhealthy’ movement habits, I was pain-free in my shoulder and have been since, which is over 12 months. I have started seeing Johannes on a regular basis to maintain my wellbeing and help me with a forever-existing lower back issue. I am already experiencing more movement in my hips, improved posture, and reduced strain in my right knee. He is doing an incredibly great job correcting the issues I have created over the last 40+ years in an empathetic, caring and fun way.

Great experience as a very curious first timer with a “DORN PRACTITIONER”.
I especially appreciated how Johannes clearly and effectively communicated what to expect. This included a personal health assessment. Therefore, trust was quickly established and I immediately felt mentally and physically at ease and very relaxed.
Through the whole treatment I was treated with respect and dignity.
I very much appreciated Johannes, calm disposition and his outstanding professional knowledge.
I will definitely book a follow up treatment.
