Gauteng, Centurion

This four-day course reviews and advances the theoretical concepts and practical application of the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) in the examination and treatment of patients presenting with cervical and thoracic spine conditions.

Through lectures, patient demonstrations, practical sessions and clinical problem-solving activities, participants will further develop their skills in assessment, classification, differential diagnosis and management. Emphasis is placed on refining clinical reasoning and enhancing the application of both patient self-treatment strategies and clinician procedures.

The course also introduces the theoretical and practical application of MDT to upper limb musculoskeletal disorders. Lectures, patient assessments and practical sessions are used to demonstrate the characteristics, classification and management of conditions affecting the upper limb.

The course begins with a comprehensive prerequisite online session, followed by a three-day live course. The online component allows participants to work at their own pace through an interactive combination of visuals, audio and video, reinforcing key principles and preparing them for the practical and clinical components of the live course.
