The prerequisite of this workshop is the completion of Level One Upper Quadrant Hendrickson Method ® Certification. The fundamentals of this workshop are: The musculoskeletal and neurological system within the thoracic and cervical spine, shoulder, girdle, arm, wrist and hand. Refine our strokes to address deeper structures of the musculoskeletal system i.e. ligament, joint capsule and tenoperiosteal sites. Sharpen assessment skills, to enable a clearer understanding in the development of treatment plans. Investigate patterns of muscular dysfunction and the neurological…

This one day workshop aims to give the therapist a confident understanding of the science behind Muscle Energy Technique (MET) and how METs can be used to establish new resting tone and improve neurological functions. The lower quadrant day will explore METs for lumbar spine, hips, knees, ankle and foot. The fundamentals of this workshop are: Gain confidence in the differing methods containing MET: CR – CRAC – PIR – RI etc. Gain a new understanding regarding the amount of…

The day will be spent reviewing our understanding of Central Sensitization. So many of the patients we see are in this state of ‘high alert’. Over the day we will review our palpation skills, explore how our touch and intention can help someone in long term chronic pain and discover that our choice of communication can influence our patients. Nociceptive Pain: Creating passive movements that are in a pain free range to calm nociceptors. Peripheral Neurogenic Pain: We will explore…

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 Programme. These two days…

In depth study of ILIOPSOAS. This two day workshop will deepen anatomical knowledge of the iliopsoas, its functional role in extension and flexion, its relationship with the piriformis, exploring other muscles that aid in dynamically stabilizing the pelvis and lumbar spine. This would include transverse abdominis, multifidi, pelvic floor, looking into how lower fibres of trapezius and attachments of Latissimus dorse interweave with the fibrous attachments of the psoas. With exercises to help patients reconnect with these muscles based on…
