Our Method
McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy
The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy (MDT) is a reliable assessment process effective in identifying: your mechanical diagnosis, the right course of care and how YOU can get it under control and keep it that way. If you are suffering from pain or difficulty associated with your spine or arms or legs, then an MDT assessment is an optimal place to start!
Developed by world-renowned expert physiotherapist Robin McKenzie in the 1950s, this assessment process and treatment approach was stumbled upon with one of his patients.
You can read more of that story here.
There are so many benefits of the MDT system, one of which is it's capability to accurately diagnose without the use of expensive diagnostic imaging (e.g. x-rays and MRIs). Additionally, through the careful assessment and the body's symptom and movement response it provides answers to the environment the body needs to repair itself. It doesn't involve the need for medication, heat, cold, ultrasound, needles, or surgery. The McKenzie assessment, properly applied, by a certified clinician allows patients to learn the principles and enables them to be in control of their own symptoms.
