The McKenzie Method: Targeted Assessment and Self-Treatment
Seeking treatment early after an injury can significantly improve your recovery outcomes. At InForm Physio’s Silverstream and Upper Hutt clinics, our experienced physiotherapists can often diagnose your condition and develop a personalised treatment plan within just two appointments.
Our certified McKenzie Method clinicians use a specialised mechanical assessment approach. This research-backed method is highly effective in identifying the source of pain and assessing your potential for recovery - often with accuracy comparable to advanced imaging such as CT scans or MRIs.
Based on your assessment, we create an individualised treatment plan that helps you understand your condition and empowers you to manage it yourself using targeted exercises.
Using Movement
to Restore and Protect Your Body
Movement and exercise are essential for effective rehabilitation of muscle and joint conditions. However, for the best results, exercises must be tailored specifically to you and your injury.
A McKenzie Method programme equips you with the knowledge and tools to self-manage your condition, reducing the likelihood of recurrence. If symptoms do return, you’ll be confident in how to address them early and effectively.
Relieve Everyday Aches and Pains
The McKenzie Method is also highly effective for managing the everyday stresses and strains placed on your body. A thorough assessment at InForm Physio can determine whether your discomfort can be resolved with simple, targeted interventions. Your personalised programme will support long-term musculoskeletal health and help you stay active and resilient. This approach is designed to help you feel stronger, move more freely, and regain confidence in your body by:
- Creating a personalised self-management plan tailored to your individual needs
- Building strength through targeted resistance exercises
- Supporting bone health with carefully prescribed loading exercises
- Restoring your ability to perform everyday activities with simple, consistent movements
If you’re looking to counter the effects of ageing or improve your overall physical function, book a musculoskeletal assessment with the team at InForm Physio. Your personalised plan may also incorporate Clinical Pilates and gym-based rehabilitation where appropriate.
