Final year students studying the Advanced Sports Massage unit as part of the BSc Fitness and Personal Training and BA Fitness Management & Personal Training courses were given the opportunity to benefit from a visit from local physiotherapist Steve Holloway LCSP (Phys).
Steve, owner of Fit and Easy Powerplate Studio in Southampton, is one of only 26 therapists offering the Hendrickson Method of treatment in the UK and the only Hendrickson Practitioner in Hampshire. He first discovered the Hendrickson approach in 2008, and was immediately impressed by the treatment itself and the underlying philosophy. As he explains, ‘Hendrickson considers the way the body spirals into dysfunction and uses a reverse technique to aid healing. In my experience it promotes faster healing in many clinical presentations.’
Steve worked with the students, showing them some advanced muscle energy techniques to incorporate into their massage treatments. Unit Leader Rebecca White said afterwards how much the students had enjoyed learning from Steve and how much they had benefitted from his clinical expertise and extensive experience in the industry.
The video clip above shows Steve explaining a muscle energy technique for releasing tension in the muscles surrounding the hip joint.
