I will relay my positive feedback to my director for we are still hoping to bring the course to Goshen. Also, thanks for treating me. We saw the difference at the course, but I also saw a difference while playing disc golf the next day. In disc, there are huge transverse plane motions. I felt better power transfer from my left hip with less effort to get the distance required. I'm looking forward to applying the techniques, and I'm sure I will have a few questions, so plan on a few more e-mails. Please extend my thanks to Jerry Hesch for developing this work.

When I was a PT student, my clinical instructor used the Hesch Method to treat a client. The client was very pleased to finally achieve pain relief, having previously sought care from several practitioners. So when I started working in outpatient Orthopedics, I took the basic/intermediate Hesch Seminar.

I was pleased to achieve quick and lasting results, and I find the self-treatment very helpful. I appreciate that this work is not restrictive or dogmatic, and it is easily integrated with other PT approaches.

Jerry Hesch is very available by phone and e-mail, which helped with learning the advanced material.

I completed an outcome study with 11 discharged clients, and 8 out of 11 reported benefit with the Hesch self-treatment. Most clients with pelvic girdle movement dysfunction are significantly improved within 3 visits and readily segue into strength and stabilization exercises. I have presented this approach several times to PT students at UNM, and it was enthusiastically received. It has been 5 years since I took the seminar, and I am grateful that I am very comfortable the lumbopelvic and hip girdle and easily achieving lasting change.

My background as a Maitland trained physical therapist has taught me to utilize a clinical reasoning approach to patient care. The Hesch Method fit into my training in that it emphasizes testing/re-testing and utilizes spring testing.
The Hesch Method utilizes what I call "springing with awareness," which allows the clinician to determine the patient’s dysfunctions, without having to make the patient fit into pre-conceived ideas and patterns. |
| • |
The Hesch Method is also a very user friendly approach, which allows the student to utilize the approach immediately in the clinic. This approach gives students specific patterns to follow by utilizing "the Most Common Patterns" and "the Second Most Common Patterns."
|
| • |
The Hesch Method does not limit the clinician to these patterns but gives him or her the ability to find other less common dysfunctions as indicated. Utilizing this concept, I have been able to help numerous patients who where not helped by "traditional methods." My favorite part about this method is that the techniques utilized are not labor intensive, and they enable the patient to self treat as appropriate.

The Hesch Method has added a new dimension to my ability to treat the most complicated patients.

Again, I will say that I am enjoying this training and am quite impressed so far! Do you know how many courses I have taken trying to understand the sacrum!? Several! Your method is so simple and effective.

Jerry Hesch, not only is committed to assisting Physical Therapists enhance their manual skills, but is passionate about his work and studies of the pelvis. He is able to explain and describe the complexities of the pelvis in such a manner that it is easy to comprehend and learn the mechanics of his Hesch methodology. It has been a fabulous learning experience to have Jerry as a mentor giving feedback with some of my patients even though he lives in a different state. He is quick to respond to both phone calls and e-mails, and he gives the experienced Physical Therapist a chance to be challenged and to experiment with new and creative treatment approaches. As a Physical Therapist who specializes in pelvic pain and dysfunctions and has over 17 years of experience, I highly recommend Jerry Hesch as teacher, mentor, and educator.

Having worked with the Hesch Method for more than ten years, I can honestly say that one of the best things about the technique is that you can rule out a misaligned pelvis as a source of pain within 1-2 minutes. If you rule out the pelvis, you will then need to look up and down the kinetic chain to see other sources of abnormal motion.
|
| • |
Additionally, you can use Jerry Hesch's principals of treatment for joint movement dysfunctions anywhere in the body, besides the pelvis. If the movement dysfunction does not resolve in the usual time, then that area is probably properly aligned, and you will need to keep looking for the source of dysfunction.

I attended the Hesch course this past weekend and wanted to let you know I loved it. I’ve been able to apply it on 10 different patients as well as myself. FYI, my hip pain is better.

I just wanted to thank you for a great seminar. I have heard nothing but positive feedback since Sunday. All of the therapists tried it on 1 or more patients on Monday and were so excited that it actually made sense and seemed to just make everything about the patient's problems CLICK. We enjoyed your teaching style, sense of humor, and patience with us. Thanks to Christine also who was very humorous and very helpful with labs. It was awesome. Thanks again.

I had an ex-athlete that I had been treating without resolve before taking your Hesch course. While I was on maternity leave, she continued physical therapy without any relief and called me the minute I returned to work.

The aspect I liked most about the course was lots of lab time. I wish we had even more. I hope to take it more into pediatrics. I can’t wait to start looking at my little unstable patients!

There was a lot of hands-on application. I loved the SI joint models provided to allow therapists to continue to refer back as needed. You were a very knowledgeable instructor.
