As an adjunct opportunity to enhance the training and certification provided in the standard educational programming, these events provide clinicians with the extraordinary opportunity for an annual resource to network with other McKenzie and spine enthusiasts from around the world. The programs are organized to present the most current information from the scientific and clinical arenas that directly support or compliment the McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy®.
The
McKenzie Institute
International conference
curriculum focuses
heavily on speakers
who often include
influential
figures or researchers
who have become
interested in investigating
Mechanical Diagnosis
and Therapy or
those we wish to
be exposed to the
McKenzie system.
They may have different
points of view
or may cover different
aspects of the
topic to show how
it can integrate
with MDT principles;
and it is this
healthy debate
amongst a panel
that is very stimulating
to the audience.
The
MDT Conference of the
Americas representing
Argentina, Brazil,
Canada, and the United
States
is
the primary public
event to provide
regional branches the
opportunity
to more specifically
support their constituents.
These events allow
for a greater balance
of hands-on workshops,
lectures, panels, demonstrations,
and case presentations
encouraging a productive,
and often stimulating,
exchange between instructors
and participants.
While the majority of participants are certified in McKenzie or in the process of their training through the Institute, we welcome those with a peaked interest in the system of care for the spine and extremities. Conferences explore a broader array of topics and address why the method is so clinically effective and what evidence the scientific community has generated to support its efficacy. There is always ample time to interact personally with an internationally renowned faculty of spine experts and catch up with old friends and colleagues.
