McKenzie Approach

The McKenzie Method is not merely extension exercises. In its truest sense, McKenzie is a comprehensive approach to the spine based on sound principles and fundamentals that when understood and followed accordingly are very successful.

It's an active method that emphasizes patient education and the importance of patient participation in recovery. The aim is to help patients learn how to manage and reduce their pain rapidly, to self-treat and thus reduce the risk of recurrence.
