The McKenzie Method/MDT assessment is a primary aspect that sets this approach off from other methods of treatment. The McKenzie Method/MDT assessment uses a scientifically proven, reliable and validated system that allows the physiotherapist to accurately classify your problem. The McKenzie Method/MDT assessment focuses on categorizing your problem based on characteristics that can be easily observed in the clinic. These characteristics allow your physiotherapist to classify your problem in a category of symptoms in order to to determine the treatment that will be most effective for you.By using different movements and positions, and then immediately testing to see the effects of each procedure on your symptoms, a scientific method is used to determine the best possible treatment method for your problem. The McKenzie Method/MDT is based on sound principles of logic and common sense, combined with decades of clinical experience and research.
The McKenzie Method/MDT assessment willensure that the problem you are having will be appropriate for physiotherapy treatment and that no further medical testing needs to be done.
