What is the Hendrickson method?

The Hendrickson method is the body style developed by Tom Hendrickson of Berkeley, California. This unique body of the body includes a number of techniques, including traditional and orthopedic massages, joint mobilization and re -education, as well as energy work techniques inspired by eastern healing practice. Therapists who want to learn the Hendrickson Method train on the Hendrickson method of the institute of orthopedic massage and manual therapy in California; The Institute also maintains a list of qualified massage therapists for clients who want to find bodywork in their area. The session usually lasts about an hour and should be painless because the therapist identifies the areas of pain and tension, relieves stress in soft tissue and educates the body, encourages muscles that hold the right positions and relax stress. This technique also includes a number of sections, while clients actively work during some parts of the session because the therapist works on the exercise of resistance to increase comfort and mobility.

In general, the Hendrickson method sessions and the client usually wear free, comfortable clothing, as the session will include some dynamic stretching. No oils are used, and the therapist usually emphasizes the idea that a session should not cause pain. Instead, the therapist and the client cooperate on finding the level of comfort and creating a beneficial and productive session.

Hendrickson Method Sessions are suitable for all people and can also be integrated into therapeutic regimes. For example, dancers and athletes can use Hendrickson Method sitting to keep their bodies in shape and treat injuries and many people benefit from soft tissue adjustments and fine work that characterizes the Hendrickson method.
