The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis Therapy

“The McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT) is an internationally recognised and acclaimed method of assessment and treatment for spinal and extremity pain. The process involves rigourous and thorough assessment in order to reach and accurate diagnosis.

It can then be managed appropriately by strategies that involve repeated movements, postural correction, self-management strategies and advice on prophylactic management.  Certified MDT clinicians are able to rapidly determine whether the method will be effective for each patient.

A skilled clinician can also identify if MDT is not going to be effective and to whom or where a referral might be most appropriate.

MDT is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education trusted and used by clinicians and patients for back, neck and extremity problems. It continues to be one of the most researched physical therapy based methods available.
