Course description
There is considerably more to the McKenzie Method® (MDT) than exercises, repetitive movements and what you learned at uni. MDT is an evidence-based system designed to guide the assessment process to help you deliver optimal outcomes. The legitimate patient assessments conducted during the course provide you with an opportunity to go from theory to clinical practice in real time. Witness the results for yourself. The patients are selected by the hosting clinic. See the results of the MDT system for yourself and discover the reasons behind the course feedback below. MDT is a reliable assessment & classification system for the spine & extremities, that is backed by years of research, evidence and clinical practice.
• FROM THEORY TO CLINICAL PRACTICE IN REAL TIME
• GO FROM SYSTEMATIC DIAGNOSIS TO RAPID RESULTS – LEARN HOW
• LEARN NEW TECHNIQUES & EFFECTIVE TREATMENT STRATEGIES
• HANDS ON or HANDS OFF? LEARN BEST PRACTICES USING MDT
FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:
• “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.”
• “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.”
• “Most informative physio course I have taken. Couldn’t have asked for a better clinical instructor.”
• “I feel that the MDT courses have advanced my practice knowledge by multiple years and instilled more confidence when treating more complicated patients.”
This course will provide participants with the introductory knowledge and basic skills to begin to:
• 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.
