The direction of exercise utilized in treatment is dependent on the symptomatic and mechanical response to repeated movements or sustained positions during the assessment process. http://mckenzieinstituteusa.org SUBSCRIBE for more McKenzie Institute® USA videos and don't forget to ring the bell! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQLYMOJDFJK3SR5HQOs83w?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW US Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/McKenzieInstituteUSA Twitter: https://twitter.com/McKenzieUSA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/9332396 </video> <video> McKenzie Myths: MDT Is NOT a Series of Exercises Description: Although exercises are important, MDT is an assessment process and problem-solving paradigm. The clinician takes clues from the history about the effects of specific loading strategies on symptoms. During the history, the clinician begins to formulate a differential diagnosis. First, is it a problem with a mechanical influence, a medical influence, a biopsychosocial influence or any combination of the above? Second, if mechanical, which of the syndromes is likely the diagnosis: derangement, dysfunction, posture or "other?". The physical examination which includes a series of loading strategies confirms or refutes the postulated diagnosis. http://mckenzieinstituteusa.org SUBSCRIBE for more McKenzie Institute® USA videos and don't forget to ring the bell! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQLYMOJDFJK3SR5HQOs83w?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW US Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/McKenzieInstituteUSA Twitter: https://twitter.com/McKenzieUSA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/9332396 </video> <video> Step-by-Step Guide to the McKenzie Method® Description: MDT begins with the clinician taking a detailed history about your symptoms and how they behave. You will be asked to perform certain movements and rest in certain positions. The main difference to most other assessments is the use of repeated movements rather than a single movement. How your symptoms and range of movement changes with these repeated movements provides the clinician with information that they can use to categorize your problem. Each syndrome is addressed according to its unique nature, with specific mechanical procedures, including repeated movements and sustained postures. MDT is a comprehensive classification system, and includes a smaller group of patients that cannot be classified into one of the three Syndromes, but are into the 'Other' Subgroup which includes serious pathologies, non-mechanical causes, true chronic pain etc. Using the information from the assessment, the clinician will prescribe specific exercises and advice regarding postures to adopt and postures to temporarily avoid. If your problem has a more difficult mechanical presentation, a qualified MDT clinician may need to add hands-on techniques until you can self-manage. The aim is to be as effective as possible in the least number of sessions. Treatment that you can perform five or six times a day is more likely to be effective in a shorter period of time than treatment administered by the clinician once or twice per week. The emphasis is on you, the patient, being actively involved. This can minimize the number of visits to the clinic. Ultimately, most patients can successfully treat themselves when provided with the necessary knowledge and tools. By learning how to self-treat the current problem, you gain knowledge on how to minimise the risk of recurrence. You can also rapidly deal with symptoms if they recur, putting you in control of your treatment safely and effectively. Persisting problems are more likely to be prevented through self-maintenance than by passive care. http://mckenzieinstituteusa.org SUBSCRIBE for more McKenzie Institute® USA videos and don't forget to ring the bell! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQLYMOJDFJK3SR5HQOs83w?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW US Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/McKenzieInstituteUSA Twitter: https://twitter.com/McKenzieUSA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/9332396 </video> <video> McKenzie Myths: MDT Does NOT Exclude Manual Therapy Description: Although we take a "hands-off" approach first, mobilization and manipulation are all part of the continuum of force progressions. MDT's focus is primarily on education and self-directed treatments in order to reduce dependency on the clinician and to empower the patient to control their symptoms. Where this is not successful the use of hands-on techniques such as mobilization is considered. However, the use of hands-on techniques is only used to enable the patient to return to self-treatment. We put our hands on, only to take them off again. http://mckenzieinstituteusa.org SUBSCRIBE for more McKenzie Institute® USA videos and don't forget to ring the bell! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBQLYMOJDFJK3SR5HQOs83w?sub_confirmation=1 FOLLOW US Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/McKenzieInstituteUSA Twitter: https://twitter.com/McKenzieUSA LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/9332396 </video>
