McKenzie Method

Discover the McKenzie Method — A Smarter Way to Heal

The McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) offers a trusted, research-backed approach for identifying and treating musculoskeletal issues — including pain in the neck, back, and joints such as the shoulder, knee, or ankle.

Originally developed in the 1950s by internationally recognized physical therapist Robin McKenzie, MDT is centered around an active, exercise-based treatment plan that reduces the need for costly imaging, medication, or invasive procedures.

We Help Treat:

• Neck, mid-back, and low back pain (cervical, thoracic, lumbar)
• Joint pain in shoulders, knees, hips, ankles, and more

What Makes MDT Different?

Rather than masking symptoms, MDT focuses on empowering your body to heal itself. This method avoids passive treatments like heat, ultrasound, needles, or surgery. Instead, it uses specific movements and positions to address the root mechanical cause of pain and dysfunction.
