What is the McKenzie Approach?

MDT (Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy), also known as the McKenzie Method, is a reliable, internationally standardized assessment system that allows therapists to determine the kind of problem with which a patient is presenting and streamline the most effective treatment for it. It is the most researched assessment and treatment system and can be applied to all musculoskeletal conditions.

Mechanical Therapy is the combination of scientific rigor and the art of working with people. At Atlantic Orthopedic Physical therapy, we aim to excel in both. We are one of the very few clinics in the area to offer MDT and accept insurances including Medicare, workers compensation and PIP (motor vehicle trauma). Our philosophy is to resolve a client’s problem in as few visits as possible, as well as to support their independence from a therapist, medication, or invasive interventions. We achieve this through competent assessments and targeted interventions as well as patient education and empowerment with effective self-treatment tools.

At Atlantic Orthopedic Physical therapy, we offer a high-quality personalized healthcare experience, and our clients save time and money through the rapid results often achieved. We are proud to use only the most current and scientifically proven treatment methods. We make it a priority to keep up to date with the latest research and we adapt our interventions as science progresses. Health is not only the absence of pain, but also a state of physical and mental well-being that allows someone to perform their work, sports, or leisure activities. Guiding you toward these goals is always part of our personalized approach.

Whether you tried many rounds of physical therapy with not much success or simply curious to know if we can help you, call us to have your questions answered by a physical therapist.

We look forward to being a part of your wellness journey!
