DAY ONE! Bring your book, sheets and a pillow if possible. We begin with Qi Gong, introductions, and the fundamentals of Hendrickson Method. You will experience a full day dedicated to learning the three FOUNDATIONS of Hendrickson Method! We practice the Wave Mobilization and other basic formulas for clinical application. Each student will work with the teacher to ensure the student can experience and embody HM. Next, we focus on six isometric treatments called MET's and create a pattern of the why, where, and how to apply this effective method from each chapter. Finally, we synchronize our joint mobilizations from Massage and Manual Therapy for Orthopedic Conditions by Tom Hendrickson. Each following day will dive into this book for each specific regions of the body!
