In-Person Certification Trainings

Certified instructors trained by Dr. Hendrickson offer in-person Hendrickson Method® trainings for massage therapists, bodyworkers, and healthcare providers. These hands-on courses support the development of clinical skill, confidence, and clarity in the treatment of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Training hours accumulate toward official certification as a Hendrickson Method Practitioner (Level I). Students may then choose to continue their studies toward certification as a Hendrickson Method Therapist (Level II) through advanced coursework.

  • “After completing this training, I feel confident and competent that I can assess and treat most soft tissue injuries. I also now have the skill level and terminology to effectively communicate with other health care providers, and share treatment plans for our mutual clients. My clients have enthusiastically commented on how therapeutic and effective my work has become.”
