This intensive 14 hour course will focus on more advanced principles and practical application through clinical reasoning, problem solving, analysis of case studies, assessment and assessment of patients, and technique work. 

Course Goals

The goal of this course is to build on prior knowledge gained from the introduction of extremities in Parts C and D to:

  1. Appropriately apply the McKenzie System to patients with extremity problems
  2. Distinguish between the MDT classifications as applied to the extremities
  3. Practice appropriate treatment regimens for the appropriate MDT classifications
  4. Identify when the application of force progressions, external stabilisation is required for the resolution of symptoms using McKenzie's "progression of forces" concept
  5. Assist patients to design and apply the therapeutic processes on their own to maintain treatment goals
  6. Distinguish those patients who will be appropriate for MDT management and those who will not
