🌿 “Everything I know I learnt from my patients. I did not set out to develop a McKenzie Method. It evolved spontaneously over time as a result of clinical observation.”
— Robin McKenzie

This humble line captures Robin’s true spirit:
👂 Listen.
👀 Observe.
🔄 Let the patient’s response guide the process.

The McKenzie Method® didn’t begin as a grand design — it grew from the clinic, shaped by watching patients and using what worked. Over time, these observations became a reliable, reproducible system that empowers people to take control of their own care.

🟦 The evolution didn’t stop with Robin.
He passed the system forward, believing this knowledge should reach as many patients as possible. Many clinicians in this series — and many more worldwide — continue to teach, refine, and share the concepts of MDT. Together, they have shaped it into a comprehensive, evidence-informed approach far beyond “just extension exercises.”

🌍 A Global Community
MDT is taught through official branches in:
Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hellas (Greece), Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Lebanon–Middle East, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States.
Beyond these, MDT is also taught in additional countries under the International branch, often in local languages.

📝 A Note of Appreciation
Some quotes were used outside their original context to illustrate MDT principles. Many valued contributors were not featured simply because their published or translated material wasn’t accessible — yet their impact on MDT is deeply appreciated and never overlooked.

💙 Thank you to everyone who continues to listen, observe, and learn from patients — just as Robin taught us.

🧠 “Seek to recognise the pattern.” – Kristi Maguire

This quote captures one of the defining characteristics of expert clinicians — pattern recognition.

Research has shown that this skill is a hallmark of clinical expertise.
A qualitative study by May et al. (2008, Aust J Physiother) found that expert physical therapists consistently demonstrated diagnostic pattern recognition as part of their reasoning process — allowing them to efficiently identify key problems and plan effective management strategies. 🔍

The McKenzie Method® (MDT) helps clinicians develop exactly this kind of reasoning:
✅ A structured assessment process that reveals meaningful patterns.
✅ Repetition and feedback that refine clinical judgment.
✅ Confidence to link patient responses to clear classifications.

MDT training doesn’t just teach you what to do — it sharpens how you think.
Do you want to become a better clinician?
Start by learning to recognise the pattern.

😄 “Who laughs, listens.” – Georg Supp

Learning is serious work… but it doesn’t have to be serious all the time!
Georg Supp reminds us that enjoyment and humour play a powerful role in learning and connection.

When we laugh, we listen — and when we listen, we learn.
That’s why every McKenzie Method® (MDT) course aims to combine high-quality education with an atmosphere of collaboration, curiosity, and (yes!) fun 🎓✨
