What is the McKenzie Method®?
The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® is used to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the spine and extremities. It emphasizes patient education, self-treatment and active involvement in rehabilitation.
Through specific exercises and postural awareness, it aims to promote recovery, prevent recurrence and empower patients to manage their conditions effectively.
Who can benefit and how?
Anyone suffering from pain and discomfort in the neck, back and extremities due to arthritis, muscle or nerve issues, sciatica or degenerative disc disease can benefit from Mckenzie Method® treatment. Our specialists give you the tools you need to relieve pain and stiffness on your own, without needing injections, surgery or specialized equipment.
