McKenzie’s Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) is a scientifically based research and treatment protocol for patients with spinal and extremity complaints that encourages active patient involvement and participation in addressing their complaints.
Thanks to the MDT assessment (examination), patients with back pain and musculoskeletal pain can be treated more specifically and efficiently.
The unique combination of posture advice and specific individual exercises, prescribed by a trained MDT McKenzie therapist, allows patients to treat their complaint themselves.
Benefits of McKenzie therapy are;
- Early prognosis and expected course of the complaint
- Self-treatment
- Prevention of recurrence
