At the heart of Hendrickson Method is a revolutionary new technique for mobilizing soft tissue modeled on ocean waves called wave mobilization. The strokes are rounded, scooping strokes performed perpendicular to the soft tissue and applied as rhythmic oscillations at a frequency of approximately 60 cycles per minute, which matches the resting heart rate. Performing wave mobilization is akin to a “moving meditation” and leads to an energetic opening for the therapist, as well as for the client. These strokes are extremely relaxing and profoundly healing.
