Course prerequisites

Access to this course requires completion of the following courses.

Level 2: Foundation

Level 3: Practitioner Certification

Develop defensible hands-on skills. Make your assessments repeatable.

🎯 Course Objective

Apply HODA-A methodology in clinical practice with calibrated, consistent, and scientifically validated touch-based assessments.

📖 What This Course Covers

This is where HODA-A comes alive in the clinic.

The Practitioner Certification teaches you how to implement HODA-A techniques in real-time, high-stakes clinical environments — where accuracy, repeatability, and defensibility matter most.

You’ll explore why traditional research discredited palpation, what the evidence overlooked, and how HODA-A reintroduces touch as a measurable, valid diagnostic tool. This course bridges the gap between what you feel and what you can prove, setting a new standard for hands-on clinical reliability.

✅ What You’ll Learn

• The history of failed palpation research — and how HODA-A fixes it

• How to distinguish between reliable findings and perception error

• The clinical application of the 8 Measurement Tools in full-body assessment

• How to document touch-based data in a defensible, standardised format

• Advanced calibration drills and real-time sensory feedback

• How to use HODA-A in patient casework and clinical reasoning

• Confidence to assess patients consistently — across time, teams, and complexity

👩‍⚕️ Who It’s For

This course is ideal for:

• Manual therapists ready to replace guesswork with repeatable assessment methods

• Clinicians seeking to standardise touch-based diagnostics in their practice

• Practitioners who want to back up their palpation findings with data integrity

• Those looking to progress toward Advanced or Expert-level clinical practice

📦 Course Format

• 50% Online (video training, assessments, case studies)

• 50% Face-to-Face (live calibration & clinical application)

• Total Duration: 32 Hours

• Includes Practitioner-Level HODA-A Certification

🌟 Why This Matters

Most clinicians have never been taught how to measure what they feel, or how to make their manual findings stand up to scrutiny. That ends here.

With HODA-A, your assessments will no longer be questioned — because they’ll be reliable, calibrated, and based on evidence, not intuition.

You won’t just feel change. You’ll be able to prove it.

Get certified in the only hands-on system built for modern clinical excellence.
Become a practitioner who leads with clarity, data, and impact.
