Interested in the Hendrickson Method?
This mini-series is perfect for Licensed Massage Therapists (LMTs) who want to incorporate advanced techniques into their practice while learning about the fundamental principles that make the Hendrickson Method unique and effective.

What is The Hendrickson Method?
The Hendrickson Method is an advanced system of orthopedic massage and manual therapy that effectively treats acute and chronic pain, and eliminates soft tissue disorders. It is a gentle, pain-free orthopedic modality that involves rhythmic wave-like strokes, joint mobilization, and muscle energy techniques. This method is not painful to receive for the client, nor is it physically demanding for the therapist like most traditional massage and manual therapy techniques. Minimal muscular effort is needed by the practitioner resulting in an extension of the life of your career!

Introduction to Muscle Energy Techniques for Massage Therapists- March 1st $35 Registration: https://hermedic.as.me/MET

Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) are contract/relax methods aimed at facilitating muscle relaxation and lengthening the fascia. They are essential for both assessment and therapy, helping practitioners recruit and strengthen specific muscle groups while managing pain. METs effectively reduce trigger points and break down adhesions, alleviating tension and improving movement. They also aid in restoring normal muscle tone, enhancing joint mobility, and boosting circulation. This approach is especially advantageous for LMTs seeking to broaden their skill set and deepen their understanding of muscular dynamics. Join us to learn practical MET techniques for the major areas of the body, empowering you to enhance your practice and better serve your clients.

Introduction to Joint Mobilization for Massage Therapists- March 15th $35 Registration: https://hermedic.as.me/JM

Joint mobilizations are among the most effective tools that a Massage Therapist can utilize to treat a variety of conditions. However, joint mobilizations are often overlooked in some education and training programs, leaving this valuable skill misunderstood and underutilized. Many massage therapists graduate without fully understanding what grades of mobilizations are in their scope of practice. As a result, they may miss out on a crucial component that could enhance the effectiveness of their treatments. Join us to learn various joint mobilization techniques for major areas of the body. Discover how to effectively incorporate joint mobilizations into your massage treatments. Find tools for addressing the needs of individuals with chronic or complex issues, and build your confidence in providing joint mobilizations when necessary.

From Sue Bennett, Hendrickson Method teacher in England:

Meet Tom Hendrickson 👏
I started my Hendrickson Method path in 2006.
I attend the 1st class of a series of 9.
That weekend, Tom became my bodywork mentor and still is today !!

Tom had been treating people for 30 yrs or more

Tom's wave mobilisations & softtissuemobilization became the cornerstone of my therapeutic practice.

The gentle joint mobilisations, the transverse soft tissuemobilizations, enable those with lifelong pain, and find a way forward towards a pain-free or pain manageable state.

Tom suggested I had treatment myself to truly understand his work.
I did !! and finally, after lots of searching on my part, I found a method/therapist who knew how to treat my kyphosis!!

Tom's wave mobilisation, for my joints
Soft tissue mobilisations, allowing tissues to lengthen tissues

Muscle Engery technique to neurological re-educate.

I was finding myself able to stand taller.

WE HAVE A FREE ZOOM SESSION ON THE 7TH SEPTEMBER, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THE HENDRICKSON METHOD
WITH TOM !!

DM me if you would like to join us 😊
