The McKenzie method: a general practice interpretation: the lumbar spine
Abstract
The McKenzie method is a widely used method of physiotherapy that clinically divides traumatic back pain into three fundamental groups. The author attempts to translate some of the arcane terminology into a medical context. An attempt is made to give some indication of the utility of the approach in general practice.
