Frequently asked questions
1. How does the McKenzie Method differ from traditional exercises for back pain treatment?
The McKenzie Method, unlike traditional exercises for back pain, focuses on directly alleviating or eliminating symptoms rather than muscle strengthening. It tailors postures and exercises to each patient’s symptoms and educates them on self-management. Patients are equipped to manage their discomfort effectively. This unique approach is at the core of McKenzie physiotherapy.
2. How are specific postures or exercises determined in the McKenzie Method?
In the McKenzie Method, specific postures or exercises are determined based on the patient’s current symptoms. A trained McKenzie physiotherapist assesses the patient’s condition and tailors the treatment to their unique needs. The method helps patients to manage their symptoms effectively and make posture adjustments as needed, promoting self-care and recovery.
