FEEDBACK FROM FELLOW CLINICIANS ON RECENT COURSES:

  • Before taking the course, my understanding of MDT was limited. However, after completing it, I now have a clearer grasp of its collaborative nature and how it integrates various disciplines to improve decision-making. The course has deepened my appreciation for how MDT can enhance problem-solving in complex scenarios.
  • This was an excellent course. One of the most thorough and practically applicable PT courses I have taken. I have a much better understanding of technique progressions and classification.
  • I feel that the MDT courses have advanced my practice knowledge by multiple years and instilled more confidence when treating more complicated patients.
  • I feel so much more confident treating complex and unusual symptomatic patients with the MDT system.

Course Goals:

  • This course will provide participants with the introductory knowledge and basic skills to begin to:
  • Describe and discuss the principles of MDT and how they fit within the biopsychosocial framework, for patients with lumbar spine problems and functional limitations.
  • Appropriately apply the McKenzie Method of MDT to patients with lumbar spine problems.
  • Distinguish between the MDT syndromes (Derangement, Dysfunction, Postural) and OTHER subgroups and provide appropriate management plans for each.
  • Identify when the application of external forces is required, using MDT’s concept of ‘Progression of Forces’.
  • Recognise how to assist patients to design and apply the therapeutic processes to achieve their goals, taking into account any personal or environmental barriers to recovery.
