Approved by medical & forensic experts
HWC was initially created for the doctors and nursing staff at Pennsylvania Hospital. Today HWC is being taught and used every day at some of the most prestigious hospitals throughout the U.S.  HWC’s physical holding technology is painless and orthopedically correct.  No stress is ever placed on the developing bones and joints of children and adolescents nor the fragile bones and joints of geriatric patients.  HWC technology represents the least restrictive way you can safely and effectively manage someone who is aggressive, suicidal or out of control.
Patented & Proprietary
Over 40 years of continuous research, development and practical application have made HWC the safest and most powerful verbal and physical intervention system in the world.  HWC’s proprietary single-person holding method, the Primary Restraint Technique® (or PRT®) is the first and only physical technique of any kind ever granted a Patent by the U.S. Patent Office (“Apparatus and method for safely maintaining a restraining hold on a person”).  The PRT has standing, seated, prone and supine configurations to satisfy your State’s laws and regulatory demands.  Our specially engineered therapeutic hold for smaller children enables an adult to manage and safely hold episodically violent children as young as three.
Definitive vs. Tentative Touch
HWC Creates a Calm Mind Faster. Tentative touch overstimulates, excites and further agitates.  HWC’s holding methods are engineered to be definitive,comfortable and secure. When your staff is confident and well trained in HWC’s verbal de-escalation and physical holding methods, you will experience a significant reduction in the overall number of restraints, a reduction in physical holding times and a reduction in injuries to all concerned.  Our holding methods for children and adults communicate calmness, and produce a more rapid return to a calm mind state, emotional homeostasis and equilibrium.
