Massage and Manual Therapy for Orthopedic Conditions: Hendrickson Method - Third Edition

By Thomas Hendrickson

Massage and Manual Therapy for Orthopedic Conditions is a definitive guide to understanding, assessing, and treating musculoskeletal disorders through Hendrickson Method(R), a comprehensive system of orthopedic manual therapy developed over more than four decades of clinical practice. Dr. Thomas Hendrickson brings together the principles, clinical reasoning, and hands-on techniques of this innovative approach in a clear, systematic framework for massage and manual therapists, chiropractors, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals.

At the heart of Hendrickson Method is Wave Mobilization(R), a distinctive form of soft tissue mobilization developed by Dr. Hendrickson. Wave Mobilization is integrated with muscle energy technique, joint mobilization, and energy-healing practices. Together, these modalities help practitioners work with precision, efficiency, and effectiveness to achieve excellent clinical results while supporting a long, healthy career in the healing arts.
