EXERCISE EXAMPLES
_______________

The McKenzie Method or MDT is an assessment system, which uses repetitive movements or sustained positions, while searching for a specific exercise to promote pain reduction and improve the patient’s function. Once found, this exercise will be the specific treatment to that patient.

Here, to illustrate, are some examples of the Method’s exercises.

Those illustrations have only the purpose to show how they are performed. It’s important to consider that, to each patient, there will be specific loads, angles and frequency adjustments, between so many other possible factors, respecting each one’s simptoms and physical characteristics in an individualized manner.
