Comprehensive Spine Management at Core Physiotherapy

The McKenzie Method® provides a structured approach for assessing and managing spinal discomfort.

Developed in New Zealand in the 1970s, this method is widely researched and integrates a step-by-step evaluation to understand spinal issues and establish a tailored approach to each individual’s needs. At Core Physiotherapy and Pilates Studio, we incorporate the McKenzie Method® as a key aspect of our spinal care approach.

Understanding the McKenzie Method®

This method begins with a detailed assessment, following a systematic process that identifies the nature of the issue. This framework supports accurate diagnosis, leading to an individualised care plan that includes both manual therapy and an emphasis on self-management practices. With a focus on patient involvement, the McKenzie Method® encourages exercises, posture awareness, and lifestyle adjustments to support overall wellbeing.

Benefits of the McKenzie Method®

The McKenzie approach encourages individuals to take an active role in their health, teaching them techniques that may assist in addressing spinal issues.

By providing knowledge on managing current discomfort and preventative strategies, the McKenzie Method® may help reduce the chances of future occurrences. This approach empowers patients to incorporate these practices into daily routines, potentially improving resilience against spinal issues.

The McKenzie Method® at Core Physiotherapy

Our team at Core Physiotherapy includes professionals who have trained in the McKenzie Method® or are actively completing this training. This approach plays a foundational role in how we assess and address spinal concerns and guides our recommendations for both in-session treatments and at-home care practices.
