Learn to treat your own injuries
with the McKenzie Method.
Also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, the McKenzie Method is well researched, proven and trusted the world over. It began with a New Zealander named Robin McKenzie.
What makes the McKenzie Method stand out is its methodical and thorough assessment process, which leads on to diagnosis and a specific treatment pathway for each individual. Another stand out feature is that the treatment plan has a strong focus on involving you, the client. Hence “learning to treat your own injuries”.
There is always homework, but it is usually simple and quick. The key is frequent repetition. You get good bang for your buck, with immediate changes to your symptoms, and you don’t have to wait to ‘go back to your Physio’ to get relief.
It is most useful for back, neck and limb symptoms. Recent research suggests that when used for those with chronic low back pain, McKenzie is more affective than manual therapy at reducing pain in the short term, and increasing function in the long term.
