Manual Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain
Injury to soft tissue (muscle, tendon, or ligament) leads to inflammation and the creation of scar tissue and adhesions. Scar tissue occurring as a result of sudden trauma serves to stabilize and protect the area from further injury, however it can also cause a great deal of pain and stiffness and become it’s own chronic condition. Adhesions and scar tissue can also form in the soft tissue as a result of chronic strain, such as in the forearms with computer use and manual labor or in the upper back due to postural weakness and tense neck and shoulders. Using a combination of manual therapy, joint and soft tissue mobilization, and manual resistive techniques, Hendrickson Method® is a highly effective way to heal pain and injury, and restore alignment in the musculoskeletal system.
Here is a list of some of the more common issues I treat:
• low back and hip pain and injury

• spinal disc injuries and degeneration
• headaches/migraine
• sciatica
• nerve entrapments
• arthritis
• tendonitis
• plantar fasciitis
• frozen shoulder
• rotator cuff strain
• postural tension and related dysfunction
• whiplash
• TMJ/TMD
• pregnancy-related musculoskeletal pain
• foot/ankle conditions such as neuromas, plantar fasciitis, and achilles tendonitis
• scar tissue resulting from surgery
