The McKenzie Method

The McKenzie Method for Spine Therapy

While dealing with back or neck pain, we believe in treating our clients through our unique approach to ‘The McKenzie Method’.

Clients who regularly complain of neck & back pain can now get treated via a set of exercises under the guidance of our experienced & trained staff. Through this method of self treatment, our clients are able to gain first hand understanding of their pain areas and successfully treat it.

The McKenzie Method, also known as the McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), is a widely recognized and evidence-based approach to the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those related to the spine.

Developed by Robin McKenzie, a pioneering physical therapist, this method is known for its patient-centered and self-management approach.

The McKenzie Method is particularly well-known for its effectiveness in addressing conditions such as lower back pain, neck pain, and radiating pain into the arms or legs. It has gained recognition for its evidence-based approach and emphasis on patient education and self-management. One of the core principles of the McKenzie Method is the idea that specific movements and positions can either worsen or improve a patient’s symptoms. By identifying these patterns and providing tailored exercises and self-treatment strategies, the method aims to empower patients to actively manage and reduce their musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
