What is the McKenzie method

Also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, the McKenzie Method is a philosophy of active patient involvement and education for back, neck and extremity problems. The key distinction is its initial assessment component—a safe and reliable means to accurately reach a diagnosis and only then make the appropriate treatment plan. Rarely are expensive tests required, Ce

rtified MDT clinicians have a valid indicator to know right away whether—and how—the method will work for each patient. For additional information please visit the McKenzie Institute website at: http://www.mckenziemdt.org/

🌀 “We don’t treat our patients… we assess them until the problem goes away.”
— Mark Miller

This quote may sound surprising — even radical — to clinicians used to jumping straight to treatment. But it captures the core of the McKenzie Method (MDT).

💡 MDT isn’t a protocol or a collection of exercises.
It’s a system built on assessment — repeated, purposeful assessment that guides management decisions every step of the way.

We don’t assume. We test. We observe. We adapt.

✅ No guesswork.
✅ No one-size-fits-all treatments.
✅ Just clear clinical reasoning grounded in what the patient’s response reveals.

🧠 Clinical Insight from Robin McKenzie

Physical therapists in the Orthopaedic Section of the APTA named him the number one most influential and distinguished physical therapist in the field of orthopaedic physical therapy.

💬 “Not enough white.”

At first, this comment puzzled students. What did Robin mean?

He was referring to the assessment form — when every single question was answered or checked off, leaving little to no white space. To him, this was a red flag. It meant the clinician was going through the motions of completing a form, rather than thinking critically about why each question was being asked and whether it applied to the patient in front of them.

📌 Robin wasn’t looking for form completion. He was looking for clinical reasoning.

✅ The McKenzie Method is built on a systematic and reliable assessment process, but it’s only powerful when used thoughtfully. It’s not about filling in blanks — it’s about understanding the patient’s presentation and knowing how to use the classification system to guide care.

📈 Want better outcomes? Start with better assessment — grounded in understanding, not routine.
