FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:

• I absolutely loved the course! It furthered my understanding from "use some repetitive movements" to understanding MDT is a comprehensive system used from the start to end of the clinical process.
• MDT is a game changer in my Physiotherapy practice, patients recover so fast once directional preference is identified.
• I feel so much more confident treating complex and unusual symptomatic patients with the MDT system. I know it will help me effectively classify them and give them an effective treatment plan.

• Most informative physio course I have taken. Appreciate the level of detail of the course content. Couldn’t have asked for a better clinical instructor.

It’s time to learn what you don’t know about The Mckenzie Method®!

Course Goals:

This course will provide participants with the introductory knowledge and basic skills to begin to:

• Describe and discuss the principles of MDT and how they fit within the biopsychosocial framework, for patients with lumbar spine problems and functional limitations.
• Appropriately apply the McKenzie Method of MDT to patients with lumbar spine problems.
• Distinguish between the MDT syndromes (Derangement, Dysfunction, Postural) and OTHER subgroups and provide appropriate management plans for each.
• Identify when the application of external forces is required, using MDT’s concept of ‘Progression of Forces’.
• Recognise how to assist patients to design and apply the therapeutic processes to achieve their goals, taking into account any personal or environmental barriers to recovery.
