The Mckenzie Spine Therapy was developed in 1970 in New Zealand. It was developed to give complete assessment and management of spinal injuries & issues.

The method itself is a step by step process to evaluate the patients problem quickly. It also allows for the physio to diagnose & understand the issue the patient is having. Therefore from this a management program can be created that focuses on the manual therapy as well as on self management exercise. As well as educating the patient on posture and the importance of lifestyle changes where necessary to help in the healing process of the injury. All in the aim to not aggravate the injury.

The Benefits Of Mckenzie Spine Therapy

The McKenzie method believes that most patients can treat themselves when provided with the knowledge, tools and exercises. By learning how to treat yourself and manage the current injury you might have allows the patient to take charge in their own recovery. This helps to minimise risk and re-occurrence of the issue. Once you know and understand your issues you are able to stay on top of it.
