From Diagnosis to Mastery – Module 1: Foundations and Philosophy

Module 1: Foundations and Philosophy

Overview

Module 1 introduces the foundation of The Jensen Method. It redefines how practitioners approach diagnosis, revealing the connection between structural dysfunction and long-term musculoskeletal complaints. You’ll learn how to assess the body from the ground up, apply effective manual techniques, and initiate the Jensen Method Rehabilitation Assessment process.

Detailed Segment Guide

Biomechanical Passive Assessment

● Feet Assess arch, navicular drop, Windlass effect

➤ Outcome: Improved proprioception and shock absorption

● Knees Patellar tracking, tibial rotation, valgus/varus

➤ Outcome: Enhanced coordination and stability

● Hips ROM, glute tone, compensation

➤ Outcome: Pelvic alignment and balance

● Pelvis Tilt, SI joint asymmetry

➤ Outcome: Functional spine loading

● Lumbar Spine Lordosis, stiffness, segmental tenderness

➤ Outcome: Core and spinal activation potential

Thoracic Spine Kyphosis, scapular positioning, rib mobility

➤ Outcome: Postural reset and freedom of motion

● Cervical Spine ROM, restrictions, head posture

➤ Outcome: Reduced upper tension, improved alignment

● Scapula & Shoulder Scapulohumeral rhythm, rotator cuff recruitment

➤ Outcome: Efficient upper limb mechanics

● Elbow & Hand Rotation, grip, coordination

➤ Outcome: Functional flow and force control

Treatment Modalities

● High-Velocity Low-Amplitude (HVLA) spinal and extremity manipulation

● Joint mobilisations

● Soft tissue/myofascial release

➤ Goal: Restore function and reduce inhibition before loading

Jensen Method Rehabilitation Assessment Exercises

(Performed for diagnostic purposes in Module 1)

1. Glute Activation Squats – Reveals glute inhibition

2. Adapted Glute Bridge – Tests glute/core coordination

3. 1-Leg Seated Squat with Proprioception – Balance & control

4. Adapted Leg Raises – Core vs. hip flexor engagement

5. 1-Leg Distracted Balance – Proprioception under fatigue

6. Teres Pull with Band – Activates upper posture chain

7. Push-Up Plus – Serratus anterior endurance

8. Adapted Intro Pull-Ups – Controlled pulling pattern

9. Dynamic Plank Series – Multiplanar core endurance

Learning Outcomes – Module 1

● A full-body structural assessment from feet to head

● Confident use of HVLA and adjunctive techniques

● Integration of passive findings into a functional diagnosis

● Introduction to exercise-based assessment

● Strong philosophical grounding for Modules 2 and 3

Dr. Marius Jensen, D.C., C.C.E.P.

Doctor Marius A. Jensen, DC, Mchiro (hons), CCEP, grew up in Oslo, Norway, where he had the opportunity to ski from a young age.

After graduating as a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) from the prestigious Anglo-European College of Chiropractic, Doctor Jensen began practicing in London, where he currently helps a wide variety of patients ranging from professional athletes to kids and the elderly. He has also obtained his C.C.E.P. (Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner) credentials, which has given him much additional knowledge into the diagnosis and treatment of various extremity and sports injuries. We are pleased to have recently welcomed Doctor Jensen as a C.C.E.P. instructor. As an instructor, Doctor Jensen has already taught a handful of our CEA courses, primarily at AECC in Europe.

Dr. Jenses believes in a multidisciplinary approach to holistic treatment.
