ORTHOPEDIC MASSAGE
HENDRICKSON METHOD
an advanced system of massage and manual therapy
Hendrickson Method (HM) is an advanced system of massage and manual therapy that effectively and efficiently treats acute and chronic pain. HM synthesizes Wave Mobilization®, a unique method of soft tissue mobilization created by Dr. Tom Hendrickson, with Joint Mobilization and Muscle Energy Technique (MET) to reduce pain, restore function, and promote optimum health.
ABOUT THE HENDRICKSON METHOD
ORTHOPEDIC MASSAGE
The third modality of Hendrickson Method is muscle energy technique (MET), which is an extremely effective treatment for dysfunction of the nervous system. Injury and chronic pain in the joints generate neurological reflexes which tighten or weaken specific muscles around that joint. By having clients actively resist gentle, strategic applications of pressure, MET provides neuromuscular rehabilitation of weakened muscles and also helps relax chronically tight muscles, eliminates trigger points, and improves the range of motion of joints
The method focuses on improving function rather than just providing temporary symptom relief, and it aims to reduce pain, restore mobility, and promote relaxation.
At the heart of Hendrickson Method is a revolutionary new technique for mobilizing soft tissue modeled on ocean waves called wave mobilization. The strokes are rounded, scooping strokes performed perpendicular to the soft tissue and applied as rhythmic oscillations at a frequency of approximately 60 cycles per minute, which matches the resting heart rate.
Hendrickson Method also uses joint mobilization - specific protocols for treating acute and chronic joint problems that are efficient and effective in reducing pain and restoring normal movement.
