Your therapist will conduct a detailed examination, asking you to perform specific repeated movements and monitor how your pain responds. Based on these findings, you’ll receive a set of home exercises. Regular follow-up appointments track your progress and fine-tune the treatment plan. Expect to learn movement sequences you can perform in as little as 5–10 minutes throughout the day. These simple exercises—often involving extensions or specific bends—aim to “centralize” your pain, bringing it away from your extremities and into a less symptomatic area. Over the course of your visits, we’ll continue to refine your routine, ensuring each exercise addresses your evolving needs. This structured approach typically helps you feel improvements in mobility and a noticeable drop in daily discomfort.

Is the McKenzie Method only for lower back pain?
No. It can be applied to neck, mid-back, and even extremity issues in certain cases.
How does the McKenzie Method differ from other therapies?
It emphasizes self-assessment and self-treatment, reducing the need for frequent in-clinic visits.
Do I need special equipment for McKenzie exercises?
Typically no. Most exercises can be done at home without special equipment.
How quickly can I expect relief?
Some patients experience relief within a few sessions, but it varies based on the individual.
Will I learn to treat myself at home?
Yes. Self-management is a core principle, empowering you to control your pain independently.
Can I combine McKenzie with other therapies?
Yes. Many patients also benefit from modalities like dry needling or manual therapy if indicated.
