About the mckenzie method
Robin McKenzie is a world-renowned physical therapist from Australia who dedicated his time to understanding the treatment of spinal conditions. He both paved and changed the way spinal and extremity issues are treated.
The McKenzie Method of physical therapy was developed in the 1950s, and remains the gold standard treatment method in disorders of the spinal column.
This method helps determine a movement preference to relieve symptoms and restore function.
It is focused on patient education and patient independence, so you have the power to confidently manage your symptoms on your own without excessive office visits.
With the right self-assessment, you will be able to identify the postures, loads, and motions that are your personal triggers for back pain.
We at Mobility Plus Downtown Seattle Chiropractic Care believe in our slogan of “move better to feel better” and we strive to help you do just that without the need for lifetime care.

Even if you don’t have any neck or back pain but have felt symptoms of numbness or tingling in any of the aforementioned areas, the McKenzie Method of physical therapy can help us to determine the source of your pain, numbness, or tingling.
