The McKenzie Method
section-70dfd0e
The McKenzie Method, also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), is a globally recognized approach to assessing, diagnosing, and treating musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the spine and extremities. Developed by physiotherapist Robin McKenzie, this evidence-based technique empowers patients to take an active role in their recovery through targeted exercises and self-management strategies.
How It Works?
The McKenzie Technique begins with a thorough evaluation to identify specific movements or positions that alleviate or worsen pain. This assessment helps classify the condition and determine the most effective treatment plan. Patients are then guided through individualized exercises designed to reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote long-term recovery.
Key Benefits:
- Effective for back, neck, and joint pain.
- Focuses on addressing the root cause of pain, not just symptoms.
- Encourages self-management and minimizes reliance on long-term therapy.
- Helps prevent recurrence by teaching patients how to maintain their progress.
