What is the Hendrickson Method®?
The Hendrickson Method® of orthopedic massage and manual therapy is an advanced method of assessment, massage, mobilization and neuromuscular reeducation techniques synthesized with Eastern energy practices. It is a system of functional rehabilitation that is extraordinarily effective in treating many types of orthopedic conditions, such as whiplash, rotator cuff injuries and low back pain, while remaining profoundly gentle for both client and therapist. The uniqueness of the Hendrickson Method® is that it not only realigns soft tissue, and unwinds tight muscles, tendons and ligaments but it also mobilizes the joints, hydrates cartilage and stimulates the synthesis of new cells. At the heart of this method is a technique called Wave Mobilization® – a completely new massage stroke that mimics an ocean wave. It has healing affects that penetrate deep within the body and creates long term effects far beyond what is normally possible with massage Named for its founder, Dr. Tom Hendrickson,
