Cervical Spine Certification

For over 35 years, Jerry Hesch, MHS, DPT, PT, has specialized in treating individuals suffering from acute and chronic pain from hypomobility and hypermobility and dysfunction in joints throughout the body, integrating care within a BPS and neuro-biomechanical framework. He founded The Hesch Institute for Treatment, Research, and Education in Aurora, CO to treat complex patients and share his evidence-based whole-body approach. A fundamental effort of the Institute is to demystify manual therapy providing simple, effective, user-friendly interventions. This practical approach is one of the safest, most effective methods you will find that dramatically improves cervical spine dysfunction with brief treatment.

Jerry has presented over 100 workshops in the USA, Canada, and Europe, including state, national, and international conferences. He has published books on treating the whole-body and the lumbopelvic complex. In 2020, he published a third book chapter on the upper cervical spine (in Human Movement, Lundgren, Johansson).
