MCKENZIE METHOD
Successful treatment for your neck and lower back pain
The McKenzie Method is a form of physiotherapy that is primarily used to treat pain in the back, neck, and extremities. It was developed by Robin McKenzie, a physiotherapist from New Zealand, in the 1950s.
At Revolve Physiotherapy, we are happy to provide the McKenzie Method Therapy in Milton. Recommended for assessing and treating pain in the spine and extremities. It is a highly reputable and successful method that has been used by registered physiotherapists for over 30 years.
Our physiotherapists are trained to examine and diagnose musculoskeletal issues, and the McKenzie Method is a strong tool for helping determine a diagnosis. The method works by using a progression of mechanical forces to examine both the mechanical changes in the patient’s body, as well as any symptoms. This then classifies the patient into a spinal or extremity category. After that, the correct treatment plan can then be created with proper exercises, patient education and manual techniques.
What are the benefits?
One of the most beneficial aspects of physiotherapy is patient involvement and education. The McKenzie Method highly encourages both of these aspects. See other benefits:
- Improve pain management: Do it learning how to perform specific movements and positions. As a result, patients can better manage their pain and reduce the frequency and severity of episodes.
- Avoidance of unnecessary surgery: The McKenzie Method is a non-invasive therapy, that can help patients avoid unnecessary surgeries.
- Personalized treatment: The method involves a thorough assessment of the patient’s pain and movement patterns. Moreover, followed by specific exercises and stretches tailored to the needs of the individual.
- Empowerment: Patients learn to manage their pain and prevent future episodes. After that, giving them a sense of control over their condition.
- Cost-effective: Compared to more invasive treatments, the McKenzie Method is relatively inexpensive and performed in an outpatient setting.
- Improved mobility: By performing specific exercises and stretches, patients can improve their range of motion and flexibility.
- Reduced reliance on medication: The McKenzie Method help patients to reduce their reliance on pain medications, which can have unwanted side effects.
An important feature of the McKenzie Method is the initial assessment. That allows physiotherapists to reach a safe, reliable, and accurate diagnosis before creating a treatment plan. Also, this helps in making sure that both the therapist and yourself are on the same page from the very beginning.
