McKenzie Method

The key features of the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT) are the initial assessment, use of repeated motions to assist in guiding your treatment, and emphasis of self treatment to prevent a recurrence.

MDT emphasizes active patient involvement and education in evaluating back, neck, and extremity problems’ nature and severity. The critical feature of MDT is the initial assessment, which determines the cause of the pain. Our physical therapists use this information to develop a personalized treatment plan.
