What is McKenzie Therapy / Mechanical Diagnosis And Therapy (MDT)?
The McKenzie Method is a biopsychosocial system of musculoskeletal care emphasizing patient empowerment and self-treatment. This system of diagnosis and patient management applies to acute, subacute and chronic conditions of the spine and extremities. It offers a reliable and practical approach that focuses on "what patients need" and not on "what therapists want to do".
McKenzie Diagnosis & Therapy (or Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy) is:
- Backed by years of research, evidence and clinical practice
- Known to show results in as little as two to three visits
- Assessment-driven and individualized treatment plans
- Active, not passive, therapy strategies for more successful management

- Self-directed and managed - we work with you and teach you
- Preventative - lifelong knowledge and skills
