One of the techniques used in spine therapy is the McKenzie method. This model of manual therapy is based on a very detailed interview with the patient, as well as careful observation of the variability of symptoms during the examination and performance of specific tests (based on specially developed diagnostic protocols). On the basis of the collected information, the patient is classified into one of the three types of clinical syndromes (postural, dysfunctional or structural disorders), and this in turn determines the specific type and method of therapeutic treatment.
We place great emphasis on teaching the patient to perform correctly
to exercise and to carry out your daily activities in such a way as to avoid painful situations. We also conduct preventive measures to prevent pain recurrence.
