Frequently Asked Questions FAQ'S

Where is your location for my treatment?

HerMedic is a studio inside Wasatch Wellness Collective in Millcreek. Drive into the L shaped parking lot and head straight to the back. You will see WWC on the West end. 3804 S. Highland Drive, Suite 10, Millcreek, UT 84106.

How soon after surgery can I come get a treatment?

You can schedule a session within the first 7 days after surgery. This approach is gentle and the goal is to restore mobility to the area, increase the range of motion, and stimulate cellular repair in a pattern of function, PLUS decrease swelling and restore normal muscle firing patterns.

Should I wait until after surgery to get work on the area?

No, you can receive Hendrickson Method until your surgery or medical professional advises you to stop. Typically, 3-4 sessions prior to surgery are optimal for preparation. In my experience, aligning soft tissues prior to surgery has decreased the "down time" and can eliminate a scar or densification of the tissue that happens when previously damaged tissue is cut into and pushed back together.

I slept wrong and have a kink in my back, what is going on?

"Kinks" can indicate a reflex from the nervous system causing joints to compress. This is very painful, sharp, and easy to locate. When the joint, at night, compresses the joints, relaxes, or swiftly wakes up the reflex has a "locked down" feel in the joint decreasing its movement. Our method helps restore normal nervous system communication and stabilize the joint. Most clients walk out with no pain that does not return.

What is Hendrickson Method?

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.

Someone referred me to you, they said you are magic can you explain?

If you have heard about Hendrickson Method, Nikki Rae, or Qest 4 Bioresonance from a friend, tell them to thank you! Our clients refer others when nothing else is EFFECTIVE. It seems like magic because our ADVANCED method is very specific and effortless to perform. It gives the effect of magic when your severe and chronic pain disappears, which has had no results anywhere else. However, even though finding relief and being pain-free is MAGICAL, this method is SCIENTIFIC and SPECIFIC, so we can reproduce these results and teach other massage therapists how to perform this work.
