Mckenzie Approach

This is an exercise based approach for mechanical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal conditions including sciatica, low back pain, cervical pain, as well as radiating symptoms of numbness, tingling or pain into the arms and legs. This approach was developed by Robin Mckenzie to determine pain that is a result of mechanical involvement and targets movement patterns of the body to help restore normal unrestricted movements. Patients are taught how to observe their own movement patterns and ultimately be able to recognize the pain that is mechanical in origin and treat themselves.
