Also known as Mechanical
Diagnosis and Therapy, the McKenzie
Method® is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education for back, neck and extremity
problems. The key distinction is its initial assessment component - a safe and reliable means to accurately
reach a diagnosis and only then make the appropriate treatment plan. Rarely are expensive tests required,
Certified MDT clinicians have a valid indicator to know right away whether - and how - the method will work
for each patient.
