Part A - MDT: Lumbar Spine Registration Questions



An introduction to the concepts and applications of the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® focusing on the lumbar spine. Principle format is lecture, discussion and live patient demonstrations.

Effective January 2012, Part A will begin with a new comprehensive online session, followed by a three day live course. Having an online component allows you to work at your own convenience and learn from an interactive blend of visuals, audio and video, but still participate in the live course that is so integral to the McKenzie educational programming.
