What is MDT?

Have you heard of McDonalds?

YES, I do mean the worldwide chain of stores that sells Big Macs, fries and shakes. Whether you are in Sydney Australia, London England or Tokyo Japan , love it or hate it, your McDonald's order will taste the same because of the amazing business system that is behind those "Golden Arches." MDT is also a system. It stands for ˇ°Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapyˇ± and is also known as McKenzie Physiotherapy.

Being a system means MDT it is established & proven. There are literally thousands of people seeking care from trained McKenzie therapists every day in many countries all over the world. www.mckenziemdt.org

"The reliability is now beyond doubt but it is contingent upon training." Nic Bogduk , Professor of Pain Medicine - University of Newcastle , Australia ; ˇ°The Lumbar Spine - 2nd Editionˇ±; McKenzie & May 2003


The most important question you can ask is:

ˇ°Are you seeking care from a trained McKenzie therapist?

There are 2 levels of training:
1. Credentialed or basic level
2. Diplomaed or ADVANCED level
