Embrace Knowledge:

To treat effectively, clinicians must first assess and diagnose accurately.  Quite often patients are mistakenly treated for extremity joint issues (shoulder, elbow, knee, hip etc.) when the symptoms are in fact referred from the spine. The comprehensive nature of the MDT system enables clinicians to reliably rule out the spine when assessing extremity patients.  Attend this workshop to gain insight into how MDT trained clinicians confidently and reliably rule out the spine, to accurately classify their patients to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy.  Also, gain a better understanding of the scope of the approach, and how MDT can benefit both the patient and the clinician.

 

Delivering Results: From What? To Wow!

Clinicians that go on to study MDT post-university are very often surprised to learn that the McKenzie Method® is so much more than just repetitive movements and extension exercises. Most do not realize MDT is a comprehensive diagnostic system, designed to guide clinicians reliably and confidently to the most appropriate treatment plan for their patients.  Part A course attendees frequently comment on how amazed they were to see such rapid results during the legitimate patient demonstrations, achieved in as little as one or two sessions.
