FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:
- Most informative physio course I have taken. Couldn’t have asked for a better clinical instructor.
- This was an excellent course. One of the most thorough and practically applicable PT courses I have taken. I have a much better understanding of technique progressions and classification.
- I feel so much more confident treating complex and unusual symptomatic patients with the MDT system.
- My knowledge of MDT increased significantly, particularly with the amount of different options/variations there are w/ assessment and treatment, e.g., the lateral component and how many different options there are to try to incorporate that into an exercise. I have also learned the significant benefits of force progressions and not needing to immediately perform manual therapy on someone before doing a proper movement screen and giving the patient the opportunity to self-manage.
- MDT has helped my assessments in terms of structure as well as being able to come to a diagnosis sooner. My patients have benefitted from quicker recoveries and the ability to self-manage which empowers them.

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.
