Robin McKenzie

Robin McKenzie was a New Zealand physiotherapist renowned for developing the McKenzie Method, a system for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal pain, particularly back pain. His approach emphasizes patient self-management and education, encouraging individuals to take an active role in their recovery. The method involves specific exercises and posture training tailored to each person's condition, aiming to restore mobility and reduce pain. McKenzie’s work significantly influenced physical therapy and rehabilitation practices worldwide, and he authored several books, making his techniques accessible to both practitioners and patients. His legacy continues to impact the way back pain is treated today.
