McKenzie Certified Therapy

The McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® (MDT) is an internationally acclaimed method of assessment and treatment for spinal and extremity pain. Physical therapists must be specially trained and obtain certification to use this method.

A key feature is the initial assessment—a safe and reliable way to reach an accurate diagnosis and then make the appropriate treatment plan. Certified MDT therapists are able to rapidly determine whether the method will be effective for each patient.
