Hector was the first Osteopath to recognise that the "Dive Reflex" could be used to relax patients more effectively. BGI Insurance recognised Hector's pioneering work and gave Hector "Approved" status for the use of the Dive Reflex in treatment, the first Osteopath to be given this recognition. Approved status allows Hector to train any qualified therapist in the use of the Dive Reflex. Hector was the first Osteopath to develop a method to assess the autonomic nervous system's "Sympathetic Tension State"; this allows the practitioner better insight to difficult clinical presentations. Hector’s clinical interests are focused in paediatric manual therapy, Low back pain and sciatica and Manual Therapy For Mental Well Being.
