The McKenzie method (also MDT = Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy) is a comprehensive method of care primarily used in physical therapy. New Zealand physical therapist Robin McKenzie (born 1931) developed the method in the late 50s.[1][2] In 1981 he launched the concept which he called Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) to the world. It is a total system encompassing assessment (evaluation), diagnosis and treatment for the spine and extremities. MDT categorizes patients' complaints not on an anatomical basis [3].[4][5] but uses the clinical presentation of patients to subgroup them[6]. By now the method is taught in 36 countries worldwide. MDT uses primarily self treatment strategies and pares manual therapy procedures down to the minimum. Only if an individual self treatment program is not fully effective, the McKenzie trained therapist supports the patient with passive procedures. McKenzie states that self treatment is the best way to achieve a lasting improvement of back pain and neck pain.[7].[8][9] In this context, centralization of pain during evaluation and treatment is a phenomenon of diagnostic relevance.[10][11][12][13] When centralization is present, pain in an extremity moves sequentially back to the spine. There it can be felt more intense. If pain centralizes, this is a positive prognostic sign and the detected directional preference guides further treatment.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Clinical Research demonstrates reliability of the McKenzie Evaluation.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Clinical research also shows that MDT treatment is as effective as other commonly used methods.[28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] The McKenzie method is commonly used worldwide in diagnosis and treatment of low back pain,[37][38][39][40][41] of neck pain [42] and peripheral joint complaints.[43][44][45][46]
