Course description
Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® MDT: A reliable assessment & classification system for the spine & extremities, that leads you to an effective treatment strategy for your patients. To be effective, treatment strategies first require a thorough and accurate assessment. Backed by years of research, evidence and clinical practice. Thousands of clinicians worldwide rely on MDT to assess, classify and effectively treat their patients. Assess and diagnose patients accurately and confidently using the McKenzie MDT system.
Legitimate patients are assessed during the course and return for a follow-up appointment, so attending clinicians can see the progress of the patient using the MDT system. Patients are recruited by the hosting clinic.

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.
