Introduction to the Hendrickson Method

This introduction is led by Sue Bennett the UK’s first Certified Hendrickson Method Teacher, and gives a comprehensive overview of the three treatment modalities that are Hendrickson Method: Wave Mobilization®, Muscle Energy Technique, and Joint Mobilization.

Students will learn the theoretical foundations and hands-on applications of this unique system and be able to give a treatment for the hip, spine, and shoulder.

The Introduction course is required for students taking other Level 1 workshops in the comprehensive Certification.

These two days will cover:

Insights of Lauren Berry, RPT and the concepts of Vladimir Janda
Science and practice of Muscle Energy Technique (MET)
Wave Mobilization, a new style of soft tissue mobilization
Anatomy and physiology of connective tissue
Soft tissue dysfunction and injury. Recognizing stages of inflammation and repair in soft tissue
Treatment protocol for acute, sub-acute, and chronic phases of injury
Joint mobilization

There will be support assistants over these two days with the aim of ensuring that students leave feeling confident in their new found skills.
