Professional Certification Courses
Hendrickson Method Training: Essentials (200 hrs) In this course, students learn the science of orthopedic therapy, clinical assessment, fundamentals of pathology, contraindications for massage and manual therapy, and are supervised in the practice of Hendrickson Method. Each lecture includes aspects of clinical anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, the science of injury and repair of soft tissue and joints, and the scientific foundations of massage. Students learn the patterns of soft tissue dysfunction, including the concepts of Lauren Berry, P.T., a legendary healer, physical therapist, mechanical engineer, and Dr. Hendrickson’s mentor. Afternoon table work includes assessment and specific treatment protocols of massage, mobilization, and neuromuscular re-education for most orthopedic conditions, including low back pain, cervical whiplash, rotator cuff injuries, plantar fasciitis, and tennis elbow. Students are introduced to wave mobilization®, a new massage stroke developed by Dr. Hendrickson. Modeled after ocean waves, this stroke mobilizes the soft tissue as well as the joints using a gentle oscillating rhythm.Hendrickson Method Training: Advanced (200 hrs) This course is a continuation of Hendrickson Method Training: Essentials and focuses on helping students deepen their knowledge of the science of orthopedic therapy and clinical assessment. Material covered includes the anatomy and physiology of joint capsules and cartilage, and the neurological effects of joint dysfunction. Students learn the patterns of soft tissue dysfunction, including the concepts of Vladimir Janda M.D., a pioneer in manual medicine with whom Dr. Hendrickson trained. Lecture topics include pathology and the contraindications for massage and manual therapy. Table work includes advanced assessment skills, including differential assessment, and how to communicate with other health care providers. One half of classroom hours are devoted to learning specific treatment protocols including massage, mobilization, and neuromuscular re-education for more complex orthopedic conditions including peripheral entrapment neuropathies. Advanced levels of muscle energy technique are presented.
