Mckenzie Method
The McKenzie Method, developed by physiotherapist Robin McKenzie, is a system for assessing and treating musculoskeletal pain, particularly in the back and neck. It emphasizes patient education and self-management, encouraging individuals to take an active role in their recovery through specific exercises and postural adjustments.
This method involves a thorough evaluation to identify the source of pain and classify it into specific syndromes. Treatment typically includes exercises designed to improve mobility and strength, as well as techniques to promote proper body mechanics, ultimately aiming to reduce pain and prevent future issues.
