Facts about the McKenzie Method:

• If it hurts… do it 10 more times.
• If it still hurts… you probably didn’t go far enough.
• If it feels better… congratulations, you now have a new favourite exercise for the next 6 weeks.
• “Centralising” is basically the VIP section of back pain.
• Extension solves 80% of life’s problems (or at least that’s what we tell our patients).
• Your patients will say: “But it’s sore…”
And you will say: “Good. Again.”

Long live repeated movements and the holy grail of self-treatment 🙌

I am proud to announce that I am now a Certified Mckenzie Practitioner.
MDT is a systematic approach to examination and evaluation for patient management that applies to acute, subacute and chronic conditions of the spine and the extremities, and it provides the foundation to direct appropriate treatment options emphasising patient empowerment and self-treatment. Its greatest success lies in the practitioner being fully trained and committed to the integrity of the system.
I have found great results in using MDT & would like to share it with all my patients.
Hope to see you soon!
