Part A - The Lumbar Spine

20-22 June 2025

Leeds

This four day (28 hour - three days face to face, one day online) course presents the theoretical aspects and concepts of the McKenzie Method in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, as applied in the examination and treatment of patients with complaints of low back and related referred pain. Through lectures and demonstrations the derangement, dysfunction and postural syndromes are described in detail and appropriate treatment plans are outlined with emphasis on the use of patient self-treatment procedures. The clinical efficacy and limitations of the McKenzie approach as applied to the lumbar spine, are illustrated by examples and demonstrations.

There is a self-learning online component to successfully complete at least one week before commencement of the rest of the course. This online component is approximately 8 hours work and can be completed in smaller sections of time across multiple days.
