McKenzie Certified Clinics
The McKenzie Institute is an international research and educational
organisation concerned with the care of painful musculo-skeletal
disorders. There are branches in 28 countries and the principles
of examination and treatment that it recommends are practised extensively
world wide.
Colin Davies operates one of only two clinics in Canada that have
been approved by the McKenzie Institute International as Certified
McKenzie Clinics.
The McKenzie System
The essence of the system is to teach patients to treat and manage
their own musculo-skeletal problems. The clinician conducts a detailed
examination to determine the underlying cause of the pain, then
teaches the patient:
- what has caused the pain
- how to treat it
- how to prevent its recurrance
The therapist's goal is to give each patient the tools to manage
his/her own pain, now and over the long term.
