FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:
• 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.
• 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.
• I'm now more comfortable understanding the importance of working full neck extension ROM and to differentiate upper and lower cervical spine movements.
Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® MDT: A reliable assessment & classification system for the spine & extremities, that efficiently leads you to an effective treatment strategy for your patients. Backed by years of research, evidence and clinical practice.
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.
