Benefits of McKenzie Method® physical therapy in Hastings

Even people who’ve used physical therapy before may not know what’s involved in McKenzie Method® physical therapy. However, our Advent Physical Therapy team in Hastings can help you understand what this method is and how it may benefit you.

The McKenzie Method® is a physical therapy system designed to help diagnose and treat muscle and skeletal injuries. It was developed by therapist Robin McKenzie in the late 1950s and uses several basic steps. The first step is to perform a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s condition. Next, an individualized therapy plan is created to treat the patient’s injury. Finally, patients and therapists work together to implement the therapy plan.

This physical therapy system is helpful for almost any injury involving muscles, bones or both. For instance, this method is often used to treat spinal issues. It’s also commonly used by our therapists to treat arm, leg, shoulder and neck problems. One reason our team uses the McKenzie Method® to treat so many injured areas is the many benefits this system offers.

For example, treatment plans created with this method are designed to provide benefits such as:

• Getting patients involved in the healing process
• Offering minimally invasive treatment options
• More rapid injury healing
• Prevention of similar injuries in the future
