Introduction to Hendrickson Method – (2 days)

13^th & 14^th May 2017

I have been invited to present a two day Introduction to The Hendrickson Method at Chapel Allerton Pilates in Leeds, which feels really interesting and thought-provoking. More and more I am investigating movement and manual therapy.  We can’t have one without the other, but bringing them together we can best enable our patients.

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.

Here are the four main aims of the workshop:

Review the musculoskeletal anatomy of the spine;
To practice and understand the application of wave mobilisation® ;
To explore the theory and practice of the Hendrickson Method soft tissue mobilisation;
To feel confident in applying a spinal protocol.

“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
