Find Your Direction.
Move with Less Pain.
The McKenzie Method® (Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy®, MDT) fits seamlessly into our assess-treat-coach model. We start with a structured assessment that quickly classifies your spine condition and identifies a “directional preference”—the specific movements that reduce pain and restore clean motion. Research shows this assessment can be as reliable as costly imaging (like X-rays or MRIs) for determining the source of symptoms and who responds best to conservative care.
Your plan focuses on simple, targeted exercises you can perform on your own, paired with clear coaching about what helps—and what aggravates—your pain. That means faster relief and fewer flare-ups, without guesswork.
We finish by building prevention into your routine: practical tools, posture strategies, and progressive exercises that keep you moving from relief to resilience to performance. You’ll leave with the confidence to manage symptoms and the strength to stay active.
