McKenzie Method
About McKenzie Method
McKenzie Method is a technique used by chiropractors and/or physiotherapists that gives patients the skills, strategies and ability to control and manage pain, stiffness and discomfort coming from the musculoskeletal system (muscle and joint structures).
McKenzie techniques are all about giving patients the power through knowledge and skills to do things themselves. This ultimately means you will require less time at the chiropractor because you are doing things yourself to fix your problems.
