Introduction to Hendrickson Method – (2 days)

This 2 day workshop is designed to give massage therapists, physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and Pilates instructors the opportunity to explore the Hendrickson Method without embarking on the full programme to discover if this technique will be beneficial to their practice.

Over the next 2 days we will explore the science behind the Hendrickson Method.

Here are the six aims of the workshop:

1. Review the musculoskeletal anatomy of the spine;
2. To practice and understand the application of wave mobilisation® ;
3. To explore the theory and practice of the Hendrickson Method soft tissue mobilisation.
4. How to talk to patient to enable them to feel comfortable and confident in the therapists’ skills and intension
5. How to integrate movement into our HM treatment.
6.  How to enable the people we work to make the best choice for themselves

“When we give an HM treatment, we are intentionally communicating very specific information to our client/patient’s nervous system through our hands and heart. The message that comes through is, “You are safe. You are cared for.” The client/patient relaxes and we gain access into their parasympathetic nervous system. This allows the HM protocol of soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization and METs to affect deep changes in the body much more efficiently and effectively” – Thomas Hendrickson
