The Whole Body Workshop Objectives

Hesch Method Whole Body Course
at The Therapy Network in Norfolk, VA

learning objectives

Students will show comprehension of the research, clinical science and outcome studies that undergird this method through pre- and post-course testing, discussion and Q&A. 

Students will show comprehension of the 3-D nature of the major joints of the body by describing their shapes, orientation, axes, and motion through discussion, Q&A and hands-on practice of learned competencies, and by demonstrating 100% accuracy of common patterns of macro- & micro- motions on anatomical and live models.

Students will be able to explain the differences between proximal and distal biomechanical and reflexogenic effects, including identifying distal compensations, within a whole body perspective. Students will demonstrate their understanding through discussion, Q&A and hands-on labs where they evaluate, diagnose and treat anatomical and human models. Students are expected to achieve a 4/5 or better correct screening and intervention.

By noon of the 1st day students will begin demonstrate progressive understanding of dysfunction from joint, neuromuscular, posture, movement and inhibition models with an 80% or better accuracy through discussion, Q&A and hands-on practice of learned competencies.

Students will proficiently perform palpation and spring testing during hands-on labs on anatomical and live models to identify and treat hypomobility and hypermobility.

Using Clinical Prediction Rules, students will demonstrate proper screening and treatment behaviors during hands-on labs with 80% or higher accuracy, competently identifying common patterns of symmetrical and asymmetrical dysfunction of the whole body, and prescribing effective exercise, and self-care.  Students will demonstrate their understanding through through discussion, Q&A and hands-on practice of learned competencies.  

At the end of each module students will be able to follow diagrams to competently identify the root pattern and recognize distal reflexogenic effects through discussion, Q&A and hands-on labs on live models. Students will physically show the pattern with their body in guided lab.  The instructor will observe an 80% or greater correct performance on 4 screen components.  Students will also correctly answer 80% or greater yes/no and open-ended questions.

Following the theory section on the 1st day students will demonstrate the correct of how pathomechanics is sometimes an extension of normal mechanics and other times is unphysiologic, and therefore requires a novel perspective that recognizes the usual and unusual.  During labs students demonstrate their understanding by creating mock scenarios in each body joint, and through discussion, Q&A, and hands-on labs on live models.  Students are graded on a pas/fail system, and demonstration continues until all students pass.

What is
the Hesch Method?

Hesch Method is a form of Manual Therapy. That is, hands-on manipulation of joints and other body structures. Hesch Method is unique in that it is BRIEF treatment: Even complex patterns of neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction can be pinpointed promptly and corrected within an average of three visits. Many dysfunctions are not recurrent after initial treatment. With recurrent dysfunction, patient independence is achieved by teaching simple self-corrections. Hesch Method is a form of Physical Therapy but is within the scope of practice of many health care practitioners  who use hands-on care, such as Chiropractors and Doctors of Osteopathy. 

Hesch Institute Goals

To continue to disseminate Hesch Method skills and awareness within the health care community,  through such means as training courses, supervised clinical training,  publications, lectures, and demonstration events.

To make Hesch Method assessment and treatment techniques accessible to patients around the world.

To continue to carry out and publish research, identifying Hesch Method as an Evidence Based modality of care.

To continue to develop the Hesch Method  body of work, as well as develop novel products which will enhance patient care and research.

To alleviate pain and suffering in patients with  neuromusculoskeletal injuries, through the provision of excellent clinical care.
